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."
That's true. He has never hired one person, never cut one paycheck, never produced anything except hot air, and never done anything in his fuckin' life except flap his jaws and smoke dope, and here he is, telling the producers of the world what to do.
Marvelous.
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.
Now, now. In the past, the health insurance companies were there to supply the Death Panels which decide who and to what extent the proles get covered. This prevented the Tea Party from enabling the Federal Government to provide the same service and thus giving the Tea Party the necessary fig leaves to cover their intellectual nakedness. Now that the insurance companies are being told what to provide (to some extent) and not to lock out people with prior conditions, one must ask what function the insurance companies are really providing here. One must also ask what service the Tea Party is providing and shouldn't both be put out of our misery.
The health insurance companies and the Tea Party are more or less barnacles on the good ship America.
Typical - one isolated (and out of context) quote and you conserva-idiots are all done! No discussion of the broad issues of how to more effectively deliver health care (not insurance) to all American citizens. No realistic options ("but - sell insurance across state lines and tort reform! That's all the fixing it needs"), just soundbites and slogans. Sad....
