ObamaCare Is Wreaking Havoc In the Individual Health Care Markets, Where It Currently Applies.
What Happens When It Begins Applying to Employer Coverage As Well?

For the sake of perspective...
How many, just a few years ago, thought the NSA was nothing more than an obscure abbreviation that existed to preserve our sovereignty? How many knew it existed at all?
How many news reports did this little 3 letter digest make over the last 50 years? Can you find any priors to 2008? What did it do?
Snowden, the snooping, the Constitutional violations!!! OMG! What has become of us!
Now turn your attention to the health care bureaucrats, the govt voices you might reach by phone, the regulators. Relax. They’re here for you. They’re here to take care of you. It’s all good. When asked, provide your annual AGI, your credit score, your age, marriage status, information about vices, your politics, your health status, any venereal disease, your cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and whether or not you’re incontinent. Don’t worry, it’s okay. These guys work in different building than the “evil” NSA.
#ing idiots.
How can this be true. Let me tell you, very few inner city folks are big on credit cards. Are you telling me inner city folks who don’t have credit are going to be refused for ObamaCare?
ROTF LMAO
And if you believe that...
How about illegals? They won’t get ObamaCare? Once again...
ROTF LMAO
Stop it folks, my sides are killin me....
I guess that means you had to use your Credit Card when you donated to Obama’s Campaign. No tickee, no taco.
So libs don’t want ID’s to vote but you need to use credit to get O’Care? That don’t make no sense!
Thanks for pointing this out.
Anyway, the person says they've probably spent at least 40 hours trying to register - without success. That's really sad. I mean it's funny - because they're an Obama supporter. But it's still sad, because they're also a human being.
if you need credit, you need ID = raciss...
I didn’t get a credit card until I was twenty-five.
My step kids are 26 and 23 and they don’t have credit cards.
I really didn’t need one until I started traveling and found out you couldn’t get a motel room for cash.
They may loose a lot of these young healthy people over this credit card thing.
Obamacare Navigator Confuses Floridians About New Law's Nonexistent Credit-Check Requirements

From what I understand however, is that one of the several sources that the website(s) both Healthcare.gov and the and various state exchanges use to confirm “identity” is Experian, the major credit reporting and scoring company. So you just have to “trust” them to only confirm your identity with this information and not look at your credit history or credit score. / sarcasm. Of course one could also presume that anyone without any established credit of any kind, wouldn’t be found in Experian’s database and therefore their identity would not be confirmed and therefore they couldn’t apply for coverage.
But then there is also this:
“A new study suggests that American insurers may start prohibiting premium payments via debit or credit card, a move that will put Americans without bank accounts in a major bind.”

FWIW, my employer mandates direct deposit under a condition of employment clause. Just about all of our employees already have a bank account and love direct deposit (it is cheaper for us, means we don’t have to void, put a stop payment on lost checks or escheat un-cashed checks and ee’s get their full pay funds on midnight of the pay date) but every once and a while we have an applicant who does not have a bank account. Sometimes this is because they have written bad checks in the past or had their previous account closed due to repeated overdrafts or in some cases, they, perhaps due to no real fault of their own, have very bad credit or went through a bankruptcy or a bad divorce and if they try to open a new bank account, they are refused. We take these on a case by case basis and so far we been able to assist them with opening an account without having to resort to paying them via pay card.
But I previously worked for a company with a lot of part time and college age or older retirees and transient workers, (these were mostly hotel parking garage attendants and bellhops and maids and the like) and transient meaning they either didn’t work for us very long or recent, and yes they were legal “immigrants” and many of them didn’t have or couldn’t open bank accounts. I was surprised in fact on how many people didn’t have and or didn’t want to open bank accounts. As we had hundreds of locations from coast to coast, we had to FedEx the live checks to each individual location to be there on the pay date and the location manager had to physically hand out the live checks and have the employee sign for them and then return to my corporate office any unclaimed checks after a week at which point I’d mail them to the last known address and if the check came back or wasn’t cashed within six months, I’d void and put a stop payment on the check and hold for escheatment if not contacted by the employee. What a PITA and very expensive in terms of cost and administrative time. When I left that company, one of the last projects I was working on was setting up a pay card system for paying those who were “unbanked”. But according to the Forbes article I posted above, many insurers are moving to ACH payment via bank account which would exclude those without “real” bank accounts and paid via pay cards.
But I digress…
The main point is that anyone who thinks that Healthcare.gov isn’t poking into your credit record and credit score along with a scores of other very personal and private information and sharing and storing that information across many government agencies for later “use” unrelated to health insurance, probably also thinks the NSA is only snooping on the electronic communications of known foreign terrorists or that the IRS would never have a political agenda. Riiight!
THAT leaves out my youngest son 34, he is all cash. Only has a saving’s account so he can direct deposit his pay check, instead of paying a fee to cash it.
