The public’s problems in trying to deal with the troubled Health Insurance Marketplace website aren’t the only problems plaguing the system. WNCN Investigates learned the state’s largest insurer has experienced a number of problems with the system

Blue Cross Blue Shield has more than 3.7 million customers in our state, but internal emails obtained by WNCN show that as of last Friday, only one person had enrolled for health insurance through the Exchange and that person hasn’t paid.

Without payment, enrollment means nothing because the customer is still not officially in the system.

Imagine that.

[MrB]

What if they get statistically zero signup...
what then will they do?

[AU72]

Death Spiral PING

[JediJones]

And he's not going to...

[oldasrocks]

Its supposed to be FREE isn’t it?

[Cementjungle]

...and that person hasn’t paid

Actually collecting money from any of the idiots who go with Obamacare is a whole other issue... one which will be avoided by the MSM for as long as possible... probably forever.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Deem it successful?

"F. Bueller...with pre-existing condition of suffering from a Shaq Attack? I'm not sure if this one is legit, Ms. Sebelius."

[lurk]

And there it goes, onto the history shelf alongside New Coke, Edsel, Jimmy Carter, poly leisure suits and Cash for Clunkers.

[ßuddaßudd]

Make us pay more ?

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Had to laugh at that picture. Great!

[2ndDivisionVet]

I actually liked leisure suits and expect them to make a comeback someday.

[MrB]

It would be interesting to know, for those that were supposed to be covered that weren’t covered,

how much of a tax increase it would have taken to pay their premiums for a “normal” insurance policy...

——that person hasn’t paid.-——

Which raises the question. An online merchant must rely on either a credit card or Paypal or a checking account with a positive balance for payment for purchased goods.

If the poor downtrodden feral ghetto trash that have no credit cards some how manage to actually sign up and agree to purchase the exchange insurance, how do they pay?

[2ndDivisionVet]

EBT?

[Black Agnes]

They get routed to the medicaid office.

You pay.

[Shannon]

If the poor downtrodden feral ghetto trash that have no credit cards some how manage to actually sign up and agree to purchase the exchange insurance, how do they pay?

Now that's an interesting question. Use their EBT cards?

[Deagle]

Well, while we rebel against the exchange, the US is going down the road to Socialism! Nice to pick on the obvious failures but when will Americans wake up to what the Democrats are doing to America? I have little faith when over 50% are depending on government for assistance.

[lacrew]

The poor downtrodden feral ghetto trash are on medicare.

They never pay for anything. Never.

Commiecare depends on hipsters who pay $4 for a cup of coffee to pony up...or much more likely, be oblivious and take the fine (HR Block does their taxes...they won’t even know they were fined).

[RightGeek]

Since the person’s name was Ben Dover, officials suspect it was a prank.
