A Nevada family reportedly is grappling with more than $1 million in medical bills, after the insurance they bought on the ObamaCare exchange refused to pay claims over a typo and other issues.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Kynell and Amber Smith are dealing with a six-month nightmare. It all started when Amber Smith in February delivered her daughter five weeks early.

I should add that it is all very good to recommend that we research our options before signing up for a plan. But nothing prepares you for an emergency — or somebody else’s typo.

Just change your name to “Maria Sanchez” and claim you are illegally in the country.

Whenever you get into a dispute with the feral government, the feral government always wins.

It's almost like the feral government is a bully.

I was trolling the web spring of 2013, Because I have Blue Cross and I pay for it myself. I was just seeing if there was anything similar that might be a little cheaper.

I put my phone number into just one of the sites I looked at for an estimate.

I swear it's like having called Nigeria! I get calls from multiple numbers and I am still getting them.

Please whatever you do be careful! It seems that there is a lot of fraud out there. Find a local agent who's office you can go to and check them out as well!

Capriciousness is the hallmark of tyranny.

Obamacare is nothing but a series of deliberately complex, illogical, often contradictory rulings capriciously applied. It’s going to get a whole lot worse than this.

In this case the dispute is with Blue Cross over an incorrectly entered DOB for the mother. BC is blaming Xerox who was the contractor who “built” the web based marketplace.
Xerox was fired in May for incompetence.

What a mess.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. This went on for 6 weeks.

It’s been a year. The volume has gone down but I still get odd calls. I just don’t answer them anymore. Caller ID is awesome.
