Obamacare class-action suit opens a new legal front

Lawrence Basich is on the hook for $400,000 in medical bills that would have been paid by his insurer had his application been processed correctly by Nevada’s Obamacare exchange.

In a closely-watched class-action lawsuit now gathering steam, Mr. Basich is one of two named plaintiffs in the suit against the state-run exchange — and the company that built it — that claims thousands of residents paid for health insurance, but never got covered because of technical glitches on the portal.

The suit may be the first since the Obamacare rollout that pits actual consumers against both the state and its contractor, in this case, Xerox Corp.

Exchange spokesman C.J. Bawden said the exchange had not been served in the suit. He added that exchange officials are “keeping all options open when looking at assessing penalties on [Xerox] for not meeting the contract requirements.”

While Mr. Basich had the misfortune of having a heart attack, the various claims “would be for very different reasons with very different results,” and the state of Nevada may rely on governmental immunity

Governmental immunity, huh. Get screwed because you are forced onto their insurance system but you can't sue them. The gov't will just fine Xerox, keep that money, then let the plaintiffs sue the private contractor only.

America must judge our EXEMPT Masters who made THEMSELVES,
THEIR families and THEIR Staff,
free of such worries - against their Oaths.

Love it. Love it. Love it. We told you LIV this is how it was going to go down but oh no you, the younger, more educated, thought your rock star celebrity status president would deliver that pot of gold at the other end of the rainbow.

Face it. You goy conned. Every generation since the beggining of time has thought their elders were “dumb”. Well guess what? You got told!

I hope Obama is named as a defendant in this lawsuit.
