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....

  Yes - I think they just bypassed a lot of bad code to make it look like it's working.

No wonder it’s running smoother. It’s skipping the important parts...

Ya think?!!??

No matter how many layers of lipstick they put on that pig...

The Obamanation of flying monkey invented the Potemkin-Obama web site! Looks great. Can handle a gazillion web visitors but don't expect much more that that. Those 100,000 ex-Acorn employees trying to process the applications by hand don't have the brain cells collectively to outperform third graders.

Is it running smoother? Probably. will it accept visitors and "process" them? Possibly. Will anything positive and accurate result?

Not this year!!

All the morons will say is "It's better and faster!" Than what?
If it was at zero efficiency for months, 5% is not a very high bar to meet...
Better than what?
Faster than what?
Has hope and change kicked in yet? No?? Why not?

How many of the dozens of incompetents in the regime have been fired? How many have been prosecuted for fraud? It should be in the hundreds by now. Why not? Saying "sorry for wasting almost a trillion dollars" Ain't gonna hack it...

Obama doesn’t want us to call it Obamacare anymore.

He says to now call it The Affordable Health care Act.

Too late. That ship has sailed. The Moochie has sung.

Is it possible that your computer could present you with a text version of FR posts so you don't depend on hearing?

He says we should all pull together to make this work.

First thing is to say positive things about it to establish a good Karma.

As a Buddhist I can tell you two things, one, the only karma saying positive things about crap creates is for someone to tell you positive things about crap in the future. Two, the word karma isn’t capitalized.

It depends what you mean by impeached.

I don't expect Reid to be scheduling any votes in Senate to boot him out of office.

Now that I’m also deaf (thanks a lot, pal) I can no longer respond to any more posts. And that leaves me no way to sign up for 0barfableCare either. Don’t say the telephone, I’m a mute.

But imagining positive things for the future even if not real no makes us feel good now.

Its like a credit card.

You sound like you will qualify for special Death Panel benefits under Obamacare.

Merry Christmas!

Ah, yes, visualization. I can do that. Do it well enough and it will create the future. Pardon me while I settle into samadi...

Oh, heck, I signed up for that a long time ago.

Picked that up in the '90s.

And a very Merry Christmas! ;-)

OK, this Obama lover has just been mugged. Now, does he have enough brain cells to realize he has been mugged and change his allegiance? Probably not or he wouldn’t be an Obama lover to begin with.

They say love is blind.

Well Obama Love is blind, deaf, illiterate and suffers from short term and long term memory loss.
