New Obamacare Headache: Is Your Enrollment Real?
ABC News ^ | December 2, 2013 | Mary Bruce and Devin Dwyer

Posted on 12/02/2013 9:37:10 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Bob Shlora of Alpharetta, Ga., was supposed to be a belated Obamacare success story. After weeks of trying, the 61-year-old told ABC News he fully enrolled in a new health insurance plan through the federal marketplace over the weekend, and received a Humana policy ID number to prove it.

But two days later, his insurer has no record of the transaction, Shlora said, even though his account on the government website indicates that he has a plan.

“I feel like this: My application was taken … by a bureaucrat, it was put on a conveyor belt and it’s still going around, and it’s never going to leave the building,” he said. “I’ve lost hope. If it happens, great.”

Obama administration officials acknowledged today that some of the roughly 126,000 Americans who completed the torturous online enrollment process in October and November might not be officially signed up with their selected issuer, even if the website has told them they are....

When Steve King mentioned impeachment Hannity said it’ll never happen and changed the subject.

I guess that NSA bunch has something on Hannity.

I'd agree with Hannity. And, to my knowledge, the NSA has nothing on me.

Wishing for impeachment is like wishing for Obama to be disqualified because he's not a "natural born citizen". Neither one of those things is ever going to happen.

Impeachment requires 67 votes to convict in the Senate. Even if the Democrats are routed in 2014, there won't be 67 Republicans in 2015. And, as the Clinton proceedings proved, the Democrats will vote to acquit a guilty man -- so long as he's one of their's.

Impeachment is an empty dream. Better to focus on what we can accomplish in 2014:

1. Defeat RINOs in the primaries.

2. Defeat Democrats in the general.

I don't know about that. Paula Jones sued Bill Clinton.

Pres. 0ShamWow made specific promises about consumer products to every American. Everyone has standing and why shouldn't he be sued for reneging?

If that were true, there’d be about 200 million people suing him.

...roughly 126,000 Americans who completed the torturous online enrollment process in October and November

And only 330,000,000 million, minus 126,000, left to go! Another socialist, liberal success story!

It's a festivus miracle!

I don’t think 200 million people have signed up yet much less found out they don’t have coverage. Not really possible since no one can expect to have coverage until Jan. 1st at the earliest.

Obama doesn’t want us to call it Obamacare anymore. He says to now call it The Affordable Health care Act.

New name..... ZEROCARE. Because that's what you'll be getting for your money. ZERO.

Technically it doesn’t affect me either but in the end it will affect all of us, this monstrosity is designed not just to destroy the private insurance industry, in the end it will destroy healthcare. You may be able to go to something called an emergency room or be admitted to something called a hospital or see people called doctors or nurses but it will all compare to real healthcare as Kanye West compares to Frank Sinatra. No resemblance whatsoever to actual healthcare. We all need to study home remedies and take any available courses in emergency management, find a good naturopath etc. Traditional healthcare will soon disappear except for the pretense that it still exists. You will be better off consulting a shaman, there will be less chance of dying from “complications”.

“Actually a website to sign up for single payer would have been much simpler than to have one to handle all these different states and insurance companies.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Of course it would, the whole thing is designed to make people beg for single payer, once single payer is a fact everything will run smoothly except for one thing, there will be no “single caregiver” to go with the single payer, there will be no actual healthcare for anyone. The greatest healthcare system that has ever existed (as far as we know) will be gone and it CANNOT be restored any time soon.

I dont think that's true about its design, I know that's a popular talk radio theme.
Progressives wanted a single payer option but they couldnt get all 60 Dems to vote for it in Senate, so then ended up with this mess.

Yes, progressives still want this to become single payer

The way it turned out its not going to make single payer look good at all.

Besides the fact that it demonstrates that the government cant manage big things(didnt we learn that in Iraq??), Obamacare has a single payer option for many, its called medicaid expansion.
Lets see how that works.

"Is your enrollment real?"

Reminds me of GA Jimmuh's "The energy crisis is real".

Millions of Americans will still believe in socialism no matter how much it is proved false.

B. Clinton took the “sting” out of impeachment. It is a useless gesture now, almost a mark of honor to millions of low-information voters.

When you stop and think about it, Slick Willie trivialized huge swaths of American history and culture.

He was expert at the art of trivialization of what many people thought important.
