Obamacare customers urged to double-check insurance status

The White House is urging insurance customers who enrolled through its online healthcare exchange to check whether they will actually receive coverage amid continuing uncertainty over the effectiveness of the system connecting the website to insurers.

Although officials declared on Sunday that the consumer-facing front end of the federal website was now working effectively for the majority of customers, there have been separate concerns over the back end, which processes applications and passes on financial information to insurers selling the policies.

Of 570 Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina applicants, only 100 have been successfully redirected to the payment options, but none have actually completed the payment process, according to the report.

What a ****ing joke.

They're preparing for all the chaos when people start making doctor appointments and are told they aren't insured.

Or worse...when they show up at the emergency room and no one knows what to do with them. What coverage they have, if their needs are covered under Obamacare, which insurance company to bill etc.

There should be a lot of material for SNL and the late night comedians.

You have coverage, but not really.

Massive shitstorm for the Dems to commence once the people who enrolled through the website get benefits denied because the enrollment wasn't completed. Freudenschade, baby!

As we used to say in the Army, Cluster****, march!
