I got tired of the shittiness of Anthem Blue Cross website. After dealing with Online Banking since high school, I've built standards. Anthem doesn't tell you how much is owed, your payment history, a breakdown of expenses. It has operation hours! Their internet website only accepts payments in certain windows. If you try to pay or look at your stuff at normal-to-most-people after work hours, it will tell you to try again during their hours of operations - it's the fricken internet, install some queuing system. Their website was often down when you could get to it in their stupid window.
They have the gall to have a button allowing you to email them, "We like to hear your feedback on how we can make the site better" - how about adding common sense expected services.
Left them. Signed up for work insurance. Lost some offerings, gained some others, costs less overall. Waited for package to come. Got a paper saying the package would come. Waited some more. Several months go by and I check and no sign of me registering. So for like 3-4 months I've been without insurance. It's nice not paying nearly a week's worth of pay each month for a promise, but it also feels like I'm playing Russian Roulette and I pray nothing big happens to me until I get something.
On a side note, fiancee's Medicaid/Medicare is awesome and far superior in coverage to even the most advanced plans Anthem/Work provide. She had been in the hospital for 5 months and didn't have to pay anything, may less than 200$. Fully covered all her sonograms. The pregnancy itself will be nearly free. Will probably hold off marriage for 2 years or so because if we get married she loses it all. I cannot qualify because I don't buy tattoos and cigarettes and alcohol and bullshit, and thus have money in the bank despite shitty pay.
