How high will it go? How much more will it cost the O’Malley-Brown administration to fix or totally replace the dysfunctional online health insurance system that it bragged about until the software crashed on Day One?
It already is the most costly debacle in state history.
None of the state’s options are appetizing. Meanwhile, problems keep mounting, the latest being $30 million in extra taxpayer expenses due to the Internet computer software’s inability to identify recipients no longer eligible for free Medicaid insurance.
I got an solicitation from BCBS today to remind me that I have until March 31 to buy health insurance. Fortunately I am already covered but it says if you aren't covered by March 31 you will be "locked out" and no coverage will be available to you until January 1 2015. WTH??? It does say in fine print on the back of the letter that you may qualify for coverage after March 31 if you experience a "qualifying event". ????? I guess this is more "pass it so we can find out whats in it ". Signed, a disgusted reader with health insurance (for now).
