Western Md. Health Exchange Finds Paper Trail Around Obamacare Glitches

One of Maryland’s six health care groups contracted to enroll Marylanders in Obamacare health insurance plans has found a way around computer glitches the state has been experiencing since the health insurance exchange opened Oct. 1 — they’re going back to paper.

Healthy Howard, which services residents of six Western Maryland counties, has only been able to complete enrollment on the computer system for five people since the exchange opened. After being open one week, the state had enrolled only 326 people through its site.

Despite concerns that enrollment hasn’t been possible, on Thursday Maryland Health Benefit Exchange Executive Director Becca Pearce stated in an email that consumers can create an account, which is the application process, shop and compare plans and make a selection online. Once a plan has been selected, applicants will be sent a first-payment notification within a few weeks.

People are shopping, but no one is buying because prices have doubled and tripled. Admit it. They log in, look, and sign off. They shop elsewhere, and policies are now cancelled. They log in again, shop, and find that the out of pocket will steal their house, and log off.

They (We) are deciding not to sign up, and pay a fine, which is designed to take our homes away, anyway.

This is what's happening in REAL life, contrary to the MSM Carney fed bs.

McAfee even says the site is so simple, any hacker worth his salt could empty our bank accounts in an hour after we sign up.

Another month will not fix this to my satisfaction.
