No Payment System? No Problem
Coach is Right ^ | 12/5/13 | Michael D. Shaw

Posted on 12/05/2013 9:43:05 AM PST by Oldpuppymax

One of the many huge issues with the infamous healthcare.gov website, that is only now getting the notoriety it deserves is this: There is currently no mechanism to get payments from the enrollees to the prospective insurance companies.

But, hey…No prob, bro. The insurance companies can simply submit their estimates to the Feds, who will get them the money—all to be settled up later.

Quoting from the article…

Health plans will estimate how much they are owed, and submit that estimate to the government. Once the system is built, the government and insurers can reconcile the payments made with the plan data to “true up” payments, he said.

I dont care. As long as I get something for *free* that's all I care about. Even if it costs me more. Obama is my sugar daddy”

Yesterday we learned that reconciliations will be done MANUALLY. Hard copy reviews! The first thought I had was that this may be Obamacare’s job growth plan. No way around the fact that Ins co’s will need more bodies to process them.

What with that many moving parts could go wrong? Remember Rube Goldberg contraptions?

I could never understand when the website fiasco hit, the regime didn’t immediately hire a half million clerks to process this stuff manually.

The census hired 635,000 with no problem.

It makes the unemployment stats look better too.

The greatest Constitutional crime thrust upon the American public in our history. Congress cowers while America burns.

There aren't that many ambulatory, potty trained liberals who can do basic arithmetic.

The census hired 635,000 people and this is a very similar skill set in my view. Locate them in FEMA trailers around the country, give them Obamaphones and piles of paper and turn them loose.

The fact that there is no payment system on ObummerCare just demonstrates that this system

was designed to never succeed !

Why would you need a payment plan for free healthcare? /s

Guy who owns the sailboat next to ours fell off the boat and broke his shoulder. I noticed he disappeared and left the boat wide open so we had no clue what happened to him. Finally someone from the office of our marina called me and gave me his phone number because he wanted to talk to me. When I called him he wanted me to close up the boat and told me the hatch was a Rube Goldberg contraption. Boy was it! Even with him on the phone with me I couldn’t figure it out and had to go get an engineer neighbor who worked on it at least 30 mins. lol

The guy is the new owner of Intrepid.

RE :”Why would you need a payment plan for free healthcare? /s”

It might be 50% free or 25% free like for section 8 renters here.

I didnt mean exclusively free-free.

The main point is that if some of others money is used for me after taken from them then I am ahead regardless of details.

Obama-care(s)

I wasn’t actually arguing with you, but rather mocking the impression Obama left millions of people. :)

I enjoy our interchange

Mocking Obama and libs by repeating their arguments in context is fun
