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."

Article said they already took his money.
We use our old bank account to pay the IRS or anything govt. related. It has just enough money in it to cover what we use it for but no more than that. I’ll be damned if I willingly give the Feds access to my money!
So do I. I like having that paper trail and if there's a problem I can go to the local branch of the bank and discuss it. Another fringe benefit is that writing that check means I'm scrutinizing that bill more carefully.
So I'm a banking dinosaur, and proud of it.
Sounds like AOL all over again.
But, but Dingy Harry sand all of these reports were false! Everything was perfect in ObamaCare land, costs were down $2,500 per year, everyone had access to their doctor, etc.
Was already withdrawn and not being refunded.
Question is if he really did as quick a turn-around s he said and tried to cancel within a half hour or if he didn't try until after the policy was in effect. He might have been covered for a while which makes the contract "consummated".
