Oregon Exchange Robocalls Applicants, Warns Them to Seek Coverage Elsewhere.
“If you haven’t heard from us by Dec. 23, it is unlikely your application will be processed for Jan. 1 insurance coverage,” the pre-recorded call from Cover Oregonsays. “If you want to be sure you have insurance coverage starting Jan. 1, you have other options.”
These options include going directly to an insurance agent or broker, but this route makes the applicant ineligible for tax credits and subsidies. Without these credits, many people will not be able to afford the new health insurance premiums.
Amateur hour is being way too kind. Total incompetence is much closer to the truth.
Thankfully for the Oregon exchange got assistance: Nine Oregon health insurers opt to renew cancelled individual policies. Isn’t it nice that all of these insurance companies that sold “junk policies” are willing to extend them to bail out their clients that the Oregon Exchange/Obamacare screwed over?
