My friend..ahem..made it to the verify your identity BS and I said BS.
You should not have to be giving up all this info just to get a quote since they can only go by your age and a few other pieces of info.
You should be able to get a quote on BASIC parameters not your whole damn history.
You could go to ehealth insurance and get a quote without verifying identity and giving a social security number. It might not be the exact quote but it was close enough.
Now the govt steps in and gives your info over to people who have arrest warrents and illegal aliens.
You’d think that for non subsidy rates that you could put in basic demographics and, say, ZIP code, and be able to get rates. I am at a loss to understand why you have to go through all of these machinations to get a simple menu of rates. Wasn’t the idea to spread the cost, burden and risk over large populations?
