Surprise, surprise, surprise.

HA!!!!!

One of BO’s most ardent supporters, a hateful, detestable woman I worked with, who called anyone who didn’t like him a racist, filed for bankruptcy and is in massive debt again.

Love it when the hammer comes down on their toes.

the credit check occurs so providers can make an educated decision about who to insure.

Wait - the government forces you to have insurance, but the insuring agency can deny you on the basis of your credit score?

The poorest affected most!! Isn't that what the liberals scream when they perceive a "right" is being taken away?

[DonaldC]

It would seem that a product one is required to buy, that someone is required to sell regardless of credit. This is designed to fail and bring in single payer.

[JusPasenThru]

WTF? This is an improvement in the current system in WHAT way?

[Vigilanteman]

I have yet to hear a logical reason for insurance companies snooping into your credit score. Auto insurance, maybe on the grounds that a poor credit score is an indicator of a propensity for taking risks. Life insurance, maybe on the grounds that a poor credit score in an indicator for suicide. That's a big stretch.

But too much of a stretch for home owner's or health insurance.

“Anne Packham, one of many people licensed by the state to help people navigate the government’s website, said on Tuesday that the credit check occurs so providers can make an educated decision about who to insure.”

What? I thought that this was the “affordable” care act to insure all the “poor” people that could not afford insurance? I think that by definition poor would go hand in hand with a low credit score. If you don’t have the money to buy something on time payments and are able to make those payments timely you will never have a good credit score. Or like my Mother who pays in cash in full so has no credit.

So, this FREE healthcare system is two to three times as expensive as the previous system. And this UNIVERSAL coverage is deniable at will. And this POVERTY-TARGETED coverage denies people in poverty based on credit scores.

Do I have it about right, or is there more?

[mrsmith]

What, they can’t con the insurers?
Well, that’ll put the stake in it!

[Olog-hai]

Literally “Zerocare”.

[FlingWingFlyer]

...the credit check occurs so providers can make an educated decision about who to insure.

Hmmmmm? No,se puede? Your credit score stinks. No healthcare for you.

[no-to-illegals]

LOL ... credit check to see if you can pay Comrade. No pay, big fine Comrade. No pay fine Comrade, we built big jailhouse just for you Comrade.

[Vendome]

LOL

Now that’s funny.

[randita]

Seems logical that if one were denied health insurance based on a poor credit score, one would have a very good case for declining to pay the resultant penalty.

[Venturer]

This thing gets more insane every day. Let’s say they will not insure you because of your credit. Do they then Fine you?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

...the credit check occurs so providers can make an educated decision about who to insure.

It ain't "affordable" if you can't afford it.

The whole Obamacare website seems to be mainly a data gathering tool, it’s MAJOR purpose, so that’s what they did up front—gathered minutia of personal data. Problem is the data didn’t head for the solution of finding the best health connection for the searcher and got stuck. Almost as if the programmers had never programmed before.

Just a timely reminder from the IT world:

Systems run exactly as they are designed to run. No exceptions.

OMG... this is hilarious!!! Somebody, please pass the popcorn.

If I hadn’t quit drinking many years ago, I’d be drunk right now.... ROFLMAO

I’m just waiting for Obama to come out and say, “I didn’t build that. Someone else made it happen.”

[justa-hairyape]

What the heck do you expect when the Insurance Companies wrote the laws and our reps were denied the ability to even read them. This is Nazi-Insurance.
