Obamacare Enrollees 'Finding it Impossible to Cancel Their Plans'

A Florida TV station reports that a man has spent 50-60 hours trying to cancel his Obamacare plan, and he still can't get off it:

(Saint's note:  It's a video that I'm not sure how to embed, because it's not a YouTube video.  But the following is a Youtube vid, so . . .)

I suspect this relates to the problems brought up a couple weeks ago about not having any system for correction or appeal even built yet.

We are 2 full months into this nightmare,at some point the stories will start leaking out of those who had an emergency only to find out they had no insurance.

Why would they put a cancel function in there?  ACA is so super-duper no one would ever want out, at least in some minds.

If you don't want to keep your policy, you KEEP your policy.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

It was in the paragraph about "WE have you by the balls now".
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Simple enough to fix that problem.  Just stop paying the insurer.

I'm not going to pay him, or it.

$850/month vs $258/year, you KNOW which way I'm going with this.

Already changed my W-4 to have less withholding.

A LOT less!   :evillaugh:
