One Thing Hasn't Changed: ObamaCare Website
The Washington Post is reporting that the government and/or the website cannot fix tens of thousands of ObamaCare on-line enrollments that are alleged to be incorrect. Folks are complaining premiums are too high; that they were "directed" to the wrong insurance policy; etc., etc.. Sounds fishy to me. Folks are simply try to get out of an expensive contract. I think in real estate it's called "buyer's remorse."
