Embrace the suck! Obama in his softball interview with Bill O’Reilly declared that the Obama website was fixed, and working great. Of course BillO didn’t challenge him on this claim. Now Fox News reveals details that there are thousands of people who are trying to sign up at healthcare.gov. In fact, there are an estimated a 22,000 people who have tried to sign up for ObamaCaRE, and haven’t been able too. The Obama regime hasn’t lifted a finger to fix it.
The Washington Post, citing internal government data, reports that approximately 22,000 Americans have filed appeals to try and get site errors corrected. The complaints range from being denied coverage altogether to being overcharged for coverage to being steered into the wrong program.
So far, months after the site launched October 1, the appeals have been untouched. What’s more, the Post reports, people who have tried to call the marketplace directly for assistance, have been told that the Healthcare.gov computer system is not yet allowing workers to correct enrollment records.
In theory, error appeals can be filed through the site itself, by phone, or by mail. However, only the mail appeal is currently available. But according to the Post, the appeal by mail process only goes as far as scanning the seven-page forms and transferring them to a computer system, where they currently sit unread and uncorrected.
