Until glitches plaguing the online rollout in Pennsylvania of the Affordable Care Act are corrected, the uninsured should enroll by phone or mail, a high-ranking federal health official said here.

Of course they want you to contact them and provide all of your personal information.

Once they have, you and your personal information are in their system till the end of time.

Just like the Hotel California, you can check out of ObamaCare any time like, but you can never leave.

Really? That sucks. I just registered as Fred Krueger from 1428 Elm Street, Springwood Ohio. My pre-existing condition is I have a hard time sleeping.

Oldeconomybuyer :"The toll-free, 24-hour call center number is 1-800-PIN-HEAD."

The phone number should be 1-800- sh*t-head

I wouldn't lose too much sleep over that, if I were you.

With ACA, you are in the presence of like minded friends.

Look at the bright side.

They don't penalize for pre existing conditions and will probably give you a tax subsidy for providing your own surgical instruments

And the Obamanoids on the phone will ask you for your name, your Social Security number, your date of birth, your address, your place of employment, you mother’s maiden name and, of course, the router number of you bank account. And from what I’ve heard, they never had time to vet any of them. Can you say “Identity Theft”?

You need to get some sleep.

The number you called was to enroll in the ObamaCare program.

To enroll as an approved provider, you need to log on to www.DeathPanel.gov. On a positive not, I'm sure you qualify

The phone thing is BS because the phone workers use essentially the same web sites as you would from home.
