Sorry, I meant CHAS. That's Community Health Association of Spokane. It's basically a clinic for low income people, and through which I was able to start the process of signing up for the ACA.
CHAS clinics also extend beyond Spokane into my own Spokane Valley. I believe they see patients outside of the Spokane/Spokane Valley area, as well.

Yeah, but I couldn't get it to work. So instead, I went to CHAS after I was told they could give me a hand.

Yep. That's why I sought out help.

I ended up calling their help line about 5 times, the fifth time was the charm, that was when they put me on hold for about an hour while they called somebody in DC to figure out why it was blocking me, that was when I found out about the ID theft.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - With all the problems facing the rollout of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, nowhere is the situation worse or more surprising than in Oregon, a progressive state that has enthusiastically embraced the federal law but has so far failed to enroll a single person in coverage through the state's insurance exchange.

Despite grand ambitions, an early start, millions of dollars from the federal government and a tech-savvy population, Oregon's online enrollment system still isn't ready more than a month after it was supposed to go live. The state has resorted to hiring or reassigning 400 people to process insurance applications by hand.

Up Next: A Health Insurance Company Bailout?
Carol Platt Liebau | Nov 18, 2013

Yep, you heard that right. If the insurance companies' costs are 3% higher than they had estimated (as a result of there being an older and/or sicker population than they expected in the ObamaCare pools), they can collect 50% of that money from the taxpayers. If their costs are 8% higher than previously estimated, they are reimbursed for a whopping 80%!

So even if Americans were able to get back the insurance they liked, they're still on the hook to pay the insurance companies when the companies' costs exceed their estimates.

That's ObamaCare -- gets you coming and going.

What a mess. Time to repeal and replace.

Replace it with what? It's a Republican plan. And they don't have any others.

today's GOP would replace it with what we had circa 1984, before the passage of EMTALA, where if you were poor you got sick and died and that was it.

You couldn't get it to work! Now you know what to expect from the Federal Government.

I have a riddle for you:

What is a camel?

Answer: it is a horse designed by Congress.

Social security and Medicare and Medicaid are federal programs, and they work just fine.
And I'd think the noble camel would be insulted if told it was just a horse designed by congress. :lol:

I wonder if the desert version of the joke has a horse being a camel designed by committee.
