Health care sign-ups hit record in Tennessee

Jeff Leskosek isn’t happy with the health insurance coverage he is getting, but he and his wife, Sheri, were very pleased with the service at the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee mobile health care sign-up trailer, parked in the Northgate Mall parking lot.

“It’s efficient,” Sheri Leskosek said after spending about 30 minutes Friday with BlueCross BlueShield counselor James Marx, who also manages the outreach trailer.

“It would have taken us longer had we used the computer,” her husband added, “because I’m not very computer savvy.”

Jeff Leskosek is retired. The couple lost their health insurance a year ago when Sheri left her job as a pharmacy technician at CVS. They signed up with the Community Health Alliance, but the consumer cooperative announced in November that it was closing. It said it had lost too much money and received a much smaller reimbursement than expected from the federal government for selling health plans under the Affordable Care Act. For the full article click here
