[BBLISA] Applying for health insurance

[Alex Aminoff]

Well, usually stuff I hear about on the news does not actually directly 
impact my real life, but this time is different.

So BaseSpace.net is a small data center company that has been in 
operation since 2000. Some of you have seen me post about it here 
before. At the peak I had revenue of around $50k in a year, which I was 
pretty proud of. It is down to much less now, but still enough to pay 
for health insurance. Because of politics (the national kind, not the 
office kind that probably impacts sysadmins more often), my old health 
plan is not available next year. So I researched new ones. For tax 
reasons I want to buy health care through BaseSpace. I carefully read 
all the small print, made sure BaseSpace was eligible. Sent in my 
application, payment, proof that I was a real company (schedule C). All 
of that was fine, except that today, with 6 days left to the end of the 
year, I got a phone call telling me that the rules changed and you now 
can not apply for health insurance as a business unless you have at 
least 1 non-family employee.

That sucks, but that is not why I need your help. So then I went to the 
MA health connector. I filled out the application (some web UI / 
javascript problems, but survivable), and then I got this error:

   BE-008 : Unable to process your request due to service errors, please 
contact the System Administrator

So does anyone know the System Administrator for mahealthconnector.org?

Whois shows the IP address as assigned to Logicworks Corporation, New 
York. I'm guessing however that they are merely the data center provider 
and the actual System Administrator is someone else.

Gaah.
