About 25% of HealthCare.gov Applications Have Errors

itwbennett writes "An estimated one in four user applications sent from HealthCare.gov to insurance providers have errors introduced by the website, an official with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said during a press briefing Friday. The errors include missing forms, duplicate forms and incorrect information in the applications, such as wrong information about an applicant's marital status, said Julie Bataille, communications director for HHS Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). While the software bugs leading to the errors have largely been fixed, as many as 10 percent of insurance applications may still have errors and consumers who have used HealthCare.gov to buy insurance and have concerns that their applications haven't been processed or have errors should contact their insurers, Bataille said."

    By this point, I think people generally understand that Healthcare.gov is to be avoided if at all possible.

    Uh, the enlightened voters tried that. About 5 years ago.

    And apparently he didn't fuck up the country enough the first time around, so those of you voting based on everything but his performance gave him another chance to permanently fuck it up.

    Guess you better Hope the government allows you to keep some Change to take the bus ride home, since you had to sell your car to afford the messiah's insurance.

    And to every person out there who feels that a woman leading the country will magically make it all better and wants to vote for the vagina, perhaps you'll wise up about voting blindly now. It can get worse. We knew it would. About 5 years ago.
