The Obamacare woes continue as an Oklahoma man spent three agonizing months trying to cancel his health insurance plan.
David Emanuel’s 65th birthday last April, when he became eligible for Medicare, spurred him to cancel his private health insurance plan. He called BlueCross BlueShield to terminate the plan and was met with resistance.
“They said, ‘You can’t do anything until healthcare.gov tells us that you can drop it,’” he said.
He phoned healthcare.gov, but no one answered. Emanuel showed KJRH-OK the call logs displaying how long he waited to speak to a representative from the health care exchange. The call logs show that Emanuel waited 131 minutes one time and 126 minutes another time.

don,t worry, it’s only going to get better.
Reminds me of that old TV commercial for Cockroach Motel, “bugs can get in but they can’t get out!” So I guess Citizens are bugs to BigGov!
Or kinda like the mafia, hard to get in....harder still to get out.
If I (sold, turned over, had confiscated by) my very lucrative lemonade stand to a Government Agency, how many months, weeks, days would it take before it went belly up?
Welcome to hell.
you'd think simply not paying your bill would do it...
He shouldn’t worry. The same government that has done such a great job providing health care to veterans is in charge.
It’s the Hotel California health care plan....
“You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave...”
Those with policies are allowed 90 days grace period for non payment..... I think
Join the club.
Tricare Life (Ret, Military over 65)
DOD MANDATE 4/14/2014 For Daily Medicines
is forcing us to use either Base whose drugs are limited by size of base and is not wheel chair or handicap friendly or Express Scripts MANDATED Tricare Life. Express Scripts is a sorry excuse of a provider. You never know if your order is right, what generic, what manufacture, or what country. All stuffed into your mail box UN PHOTO ID SIGNED FOR making them available to thieves and meth makers to steal. Or Neighborhood kids to access. I have been Informed it will take a act from congress to stop this stupidity, not only because it is not safe because of kids but medicines are quite sensitive to heat, moisture, etc. It is a very cumbersome process either way you go.
Base will fill your script, but refills come out of Pensacola for our region. 5 days. ES is 3 weeks first fill, 2 weeks refills. And NO guarantee your DAW script will be DAW as ES will switch them at their whim. BE SURE YOU READ the customer complaints if you are TRICARE LIFE, or will be going on TRICARE LIFE. It is buyer be informed situation.

You’d think that with the name “Emanuel”, he’d be moved to the head of the line.
Bub, stop paying the premiums to the plan from the man whose ear size is apparently tied to his popularity which is shrinking.
