| 13,000 Obamacare Applicants Have No Records With Health Insurers |
| 2014-01-11 |
[BREITBART] Record-keeping snags could complicate the start of insurance coverage this month as people begin using policies they purchased under President Barack ObamaReady to Rule from Day One... 's health care overhaul. Insurance companies are still trying to sort out cases of so-called health insurance orphans, customers for whom the government has a record that they enrolled, but the insurer does not. Government officials say the problem is real but under control, with orphan records being among the roughly 13,000 problem cases they are trying to resolve with insurers. But insurance companies are worried the process will grow more cumbersome as they deal with the flood of new customers who signed up in December as enrollment deadlines neared. More than 1 million people have signed up through the federal insurance market that serves 36 states. Officials contend the error rate for new signups is close to zero. Insurers, however, are less enthusiastic about the pace of the fixes. The companies also are seeing cases in which the government has assigned the same identification number to more than one person, as well as so-called "ghost" files in which the insurer has an enrollment record but the government does not. But orphaned files _ when the insurer has no record of enrollment _ are particularly concerning because the companies have no automated way to identify the presumed policyholder. They say they have to manually compare the lists of enrollees the government sends them with their own records because the government never built an automated system that would do the work much faster. |

| #11 Not to worry. NSA and hackers have all of those records. Maybe the insurance companies can ask the hackers for the missing data. |

| #7 wretchard: A survey by Enroll America showed that 68% of the uninsured never even logged on to the website. Terms like subsidies, deductibles, plan this or plan that were too much for some, a fact that was anticipated by the creation of a class of Navigators created and funded by Obamacare itself. They knew that the target audience would be baffled. The Navigators were created in the knowledge that insurance would have to be provided where basic literacy was no longer to be taken for granted. Recently a bank robber made the news when he handed a holdup note to a teller, only to have the teller unable to read it. In a recent, high profile murder trial the star witness proved unable to read her own declaration when questioned on the stand. At least some of the uninsured will be in similar case. The Navigators have to fix this problem. Their job, not to put too fine a point on it, is to fill out the form for those who canÂ’t fill it out themselves, nor in fact be able to understand the form in the first place. |

| #5 On 'Special Report' yesterday, Jonah Goldberg commented on the regime's dropping of Obamacare contractor CGI. Goldberg said... "blaming CGI for the rollout disaster was like blaming your dog for failing to play the piano." A Goldberg classic. |
