Obamacare Enrollees 'Finding it Impossible to Cancel Their Plans'
Weekly Standard ^ | 02/28/2014 | Daniel Halper

A Florida TV station reports that a man has spent 50-60 hours trying to cancel his Obamacare plan, and he still can't get off it:

"We are hearing about a new problem that involves the Affordable Care Act," said the anchor. "People who signed up for coverage are finding it impossible to cancel their plans. Channel 9's Lori Brown spoke with an Orlando man who has been trying unsuccessfully to cancel for more than six weeks now."

"Andrew Robinson was looking forward to getting health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. He has a small publishing business and works part time, so he hasn't had coverage. In early January he signed up for a plan that cost nearly $300 a month. About a half hour later he and his wife realized they could barely afford that. They quickly found a less expensive plan through Humana for $116 a month," says the reporter.

"I immediately called back the Florida Blue and asked them to cancel the policy I just set up," says Robinson.

"But he quickly learned canceling Obamacare is no easy task. ... More than six weeks later after spending 50 to 60 hours on the phone his policy is still not canceled and he is still waiting for the payment Florida Blue withdrew from his account to be refunded."

“Why not just quit paying and see what happens?”

Automation withdrawal from his bank account.

” he is still waiting for the payment Florida Blue withdrew from his account to be refunded.”

been there, done that.

there are times when you have to change account numbers
to get something to stop,
which means new checks, among other things.

Well, yeah, that real-time monitoring of every single financial action and your bank account is not something the government wants to give up.

As we are all forced into this program, there will be no way to escape the horrendously anal scrutiny of our money that the government believes belongs to them.

It’s all about TAXES and CONTROL and nothing else. If they wanted to improve health, they would have dealt with healthcare, not insurance, finance (yours), and the IRS.
