If u know u can't get a subsidy, no reason to use http://Healthcare.gov Better bet is to try online site such as http://ehealthinsurance.com .

Brit Hume’s wife took HealthCare.gov for a spin this morning. Keep your doctor, period? Nope.

My wife signed on to ACA website today. Found only plans from Anthem Blue Cross. How many of her doctors in top plan available? Zero.

@brithume I'm shocked that FoxNews doesn't offer her coverage through you. That's the real story here.

@brithume @Brad_Carlson Perhaps her doctors aren't very good. Insurers don't contract with doctors that don't provide quality care.

.@CarolMossEsq @Brad_Carlson What bunk. Better plans available outside ACA website do include her doctors. ACA limits choice.
