Credit scores impacting new Affordable Care Act insurance plans

Credit scores are researched for all insurance. Another reason we need single payer.

From a document request from the House Oversight Committee by CBS ........

Apparently Credit Checks *ARE* involved in the exchange sign ups !!!

(CBS News) WASHINGTON - For 31 days now, the Obama administration has been telling us that Americans by the millions are visiting the new health insurance website, despite all its problems.

But no one in the administration has been willing to tell us how many policies have been purchased, and this may be the reason: CBS News has learned enrollments got off to an incredibly slow start.

Early enrollment figures are contained in notes from twice-a-day "war room" meetings convened within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services after the website failed on Oct. 1. They were turned over in response to a document request from the House Oversight Committee.

Obamacare enrollments got off to very slow start, documents show


from page 3 of the actual document...

The health care exchanges need to average 39,000 enrollees a day to meet the goal of seven million by March 1. The war room notes give a glimpse into some of the reasons customers had problems:

"Direct enrollment (signing up directly on an insurer's website) is not working for any issuers."

"Experian" credit reporting agency is "creating confusion with credit check information."

"Issuer phone numbers are not appearing correctly on the Pay Now page."

No wonder this got squashed by the TV station !!
Obviously, they got that "3am" call

No Hoax !!

No, it doesn't say anything about Experian credit checks. It says the Experian identification issue. The actual document itself doesn't any anything about credit checks.

The CBS video refers to "credit checks".

But yes, the document says:

"Experian Identity Proofing issue for consumers"

Could be just one of those things to stop spam bots ?

CBS might be sensationalizing.

It wouldn't be the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

Geesh.

I just scanned the doc.

It does in fact refer to credit checks.

Have a closer look on page 1 of the doc.

But they're not actually checking the credit. They're using Experian to verify their identity, which is done similar to a credit check. You provide the same information, and someone may call it a credit check, but it's not. Which is why they say that they're having problems with the Experian identification system.

The only good thing to come from the passage of Obamacare is that now, everyone can actually see how bloody awful it is!

Do they have government insurance in Canada, I'm sure it isn't as nearly as bad as Obama care ?
