I can understand some of the frustration I read in other reviews (the website downtimes are really frustrating, but that makes WAPlanfinder more useful to me).
That said, when you need to find out if your health plan has been renewed (and, consequently, whether or not you’ll be able to pay for your prescriptions ... tomorrow 😳😳🥺) it’s kind of an essential app ; )
Maybe not all people have that need, but I certainly did tonight. So I’m really thankful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
There are sections of WAPlanfinder that direct you to the website, but that frustration is with the website, not WAPlanfinder .
There are other sections of WAPlanfinder that still give you information when the website goes down.
Just - as someone who knows: the website maintenance schedule isn’t likely to be the fault of WAPlanfinder developer. The developer almost certainly does not control that.
Could WAPlanfinder go further? Sure. But the fluctuations in federal insurance policies have left states with a LOT of work. The fact that they have gotten this far in the amount of time they’ve had (while undoubtedly having to prepare in case things go a different direction) is pretty impressive.
Tonight, I thought I might be uninsured (which would be a nightmare). I was incredibly thankful for WAPlanfinder tonight!
