I’m currently on a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (MyBlue Health Silver 405) plan. As a self-employed small business owner, the ACA has really benefited me. I’ve been relatively happy with this plan. Some parts of it are great, some ok, and some suck.

Well, you can shop for new plans or see if you qualify for any tax credits until Aug 15th so I thought I would do that. It seems like Oscar Insurance Company has some great options but I’m not familiar with them. From reddit users, it seems pretty good.

Anyone in Houston have experience with them or currently using them?

Seems like a lobbying effort to promote the widening of I-45. The website doesn’t seem to exist and there is no WHOIS registration info. I’m curious what they’re advocating for. On the TV ad I saw they’re playing the “will help with emergency evacuations”, “improve emergency vehicles transit times” cards.

I’m a native Houstonian and I’m not down with this widening movement. It’s been proven time and time again that it doesn’t improve a damn thing. Nothing like the study that showed within four years of completion, the morning commute on the Katy Freeway was taking 30% longer, and the afternoon commute was taking 55% longer than before the expansion. Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) doesn’t give a damn about Houston.
