Welcome to the new regime, America. Meanwhile in Illinois, a surgeon chose to operate on a female patient even though his office couldn't verify whether she was covered by an Obamacare "bronze" plan she and her husband signed up for in mid-December. A receptionist reportedly spent two hours on the phone with the insurance company seeking answers, but got none. The doctor told the Associated Press that many of his patients are experiencing "tremendous uncertainty and anxiety" because of the new law. A 61-year-old Illinois woman with pre-existing conditions had a hard time obtaining coverage because Obamacare's website wouldn't let her pay for her silver plan. She ultimately sorted out the issue, but says she's worried whether the unstable, costly law is viable for the long term: "My biggest concern is, how long is this going to last? How long can our country bear this expense? It’s a benefit for us right now. But I don’t see how it can possibly be sustainable." Reuters reports that White House officials are worried that as more Americans seek medical treatment in the coming weeks, a fresh torrent of negative incidents will bleed into the media. They have ample cause for concern. The Washington Post published a story over the weekend detailing how more than 100,000 Americans who are newly eligible for Medicaid and CHIP aren't covered due to Obamacare "defects:"

Well, of course, she isn't going to get answers from them. She called the wrong number. The correct number is the IRS Special Bureau of Obamacare Surgical and Medical Approval or Disapproval Determinations [IRSSBOSMADD, for short].

The IRSSBOSMADD phone number is BR5-49. If circuits are busy, please place your call later. Your call is very important to us. If this is an emergency, please dial 9-1-1. If you have questions, stay on the line and an operator will be with you shortly. Otherwise, check for answers on your website: healthcare.gov. {click, disconnect}

#1) did you sign a contract for services?

#2) Did you pay the compensation due for said services contracted for?

If so, you are covered and if not so, should contact the local law enforcement in your area and file a legal complaint. The local prosecutor should then prosecute parties to the contract which have not performed. If the non-performing parties fail to respond, a default judgement takes place.
