An Obamacare supporter’s misadventures with HealthCare.gov | The Daily Caller.
On Jan. 1, we rejoiced. And on Jan. 10, we gave up.
Ten days in, we decided to cancel Miles’ Obamacare plan, swallow hundreds of dollars we’ll probably never recover and buy him a private policy away from the Federal Health Insurance Exchange Marketplace. His new plan does benefit from many requirements of the Affordable Care Act as well, so that’s good.
But even the administrators at Obamacare’s headquarters have agreed this is the best option. Really.
That’s not how it was supposed to be. After dozens of hours of phone calls that displaced my usual work obligations this week, only one thing is clear: Nobody can give anybody a straight or consistent answer to anything.
Our troubles may strike some as trivial and particular, although they wouldn’t if it happened to them. And anyone who wants a successful system – as we do – must understand that these nightmares are happening across the nation to the very people who want Obamacare to work.
Read the whole thing. I repeat, READ THE WHOLE THING.
It’s all too easy to believe this happens. No, I’m not “piling on” here, I know from experience.
- subsidy eligibility
- restricted networks
- restricted formularies (but at least you get free birth control)
are all gifts brought to the unknowing, ignorant public courtesy of Obamacare.
Bottom line, Obamacare is so complicated as to be untenable. The Grand Wizards that invented and implemented this monstrosity deserve a special place in hell.
