According to The Boston Herald, MA’s Healthcare Connector website is making healthy applicants say they have mental diseases before their applications can be processed!
If that isn’t bad enough, people who’ve never spent one day in jail are being told to “confirm their incarceration status” before they can get an insurance quote.
Here are just a few highlights from interviews between irate healthcare customers and Herald reporters:
Adam Romanow: “It immediately brought up, ‘We couldn’t electronically verify your incarceration status. Please submit proof of your incarceration.’ It was crazy … I’ve never had handcuffs on in my life… It’s a nightmare. It’s a total frustration”
Obamacare Supporter, Richard LeSavoy: (Said he couldn’t even login to register) “If I can’t do it, my theory is, nobody can do it.”
Nancy Wilde answered “no” to a question the site prompted her to answer and the portal asked her if she were “locked up in a mental hospital or awaiting arraignment.”
Health Connector administrators refused to answer probing questions from the media, however, one spokesman, Jason Lefferts, offered these comforting words to confused patrons:
