Woman spends SIX WEEKS trying to UNenroll from ObamaCare

A woman claims she spent six weeks trying to un-enroll from her Affordable Care Act plan, after the 'terminate' button on the website failed to work.

Lesli Hill, 62, from Missouri, was sent back and forth between operators on the Marketplace and her own health insurance provider as she attempted to cancel her 'Obamacare' plan.

She says that despite calling the helpline, sending emails and chatting online to a helpdesk, she was unable to get off the plan and ended up driving 100 miles to get help from her own insurance company.

Ms Hill is part of the 'high risk' pool and bought an Affordable Care Act policy for $950. When she found out she could get a better deal with her previous insurance company, she wished to cancel her plan.

'I thought it would be fairly simple, I called my insurance provider and they informed me they couldn’t cancel my federal exchange policy and that I would have to do that through the exchange,’ Ms Hill told FoxNews.

Ms Hill was told by an ObamaCare operator that she needed to call her insurance company, who passed her back to the Federal Exchange.

Ms Hill claims the terminate button on Obamacare's website did not work, and that she spent ‘several hours a day’ on hold with the Health Insurance Marketplace.

Obamacare: you can check out, but you can never leave.

A bit like joining the religion/cult of peace.

I haven’t gone to that website, period. I assumed it would be instant fraud and identity theft backed up with losing my insurance.

I wouldn't touch healthcare.gov with YOUR browser!

Did you read where a security pro hacked into healthcare.gov in four minutes flat? Anyone putting their information on that site is just begging to be hurt by identity fraud.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

I wonder if the Eagles ever thought about Big Brother when they were writing that song? It was eerily prescient.

Glen Frye is a big fan of big brother. It's the TEA party types that he hates.

Damn shame. I used to love their music.

The “life of Julia” wasn’t as good as advertised...

When a white collar hacker says he can hack their websites in 4 mins or less and download 70,000 records in that time it pains me to think what a dedicated black hacker could do in just a little bit more time and create personal hell for millions of people because of an inept government.

My company is subcontracted to a large government IT contractor responsible for fixing healthcare.gov

The initial comments from those in the trenches are and I quote, "this is an epic f***** failure".. personal information being sent in clear text, software riddled with vulnerabilities, and an infrastructure that needs to be scrapped, and never to be brought online again.

The obvious answer to this security problem is to have Eric Holder file some high publicity suits against Target to distract the flock.
