Obamacare: Illinois tells 30,000 “successful” enrollees they must reapply for healthcare coverage
According to this article the state of Illinois is in the process of contacting 30,000 people who have successfully applied for Obamacare to inform them the state made a mistake and they will have to start the process all over if they want to be in compliance with the law. (The biggest shocker here is the fact that 30,000 people managed to complete the process in the first place.)
Apparently the state erroneously told these people they were eligible for Medicaid and sent them to the Federal government.
But in response to growing complaints, state officials announced Wednesday they’re in the midst of calling and emailing the 30,000 exchange customers sent to Medicaid to tell them to do their applications all over again if they believe they were mistakenly pegged for the low-income program.
Illinois Department of Insurance spokesman Mike Claffey said that many Illinoisans who were sent into Medicaid when they applied for coverage believe they were incorrectly rejected from buying private coverage on the exchange.
Because these people no longer qualify for the low-income program it most likely means they will not eligible to receive a subsidy. This naturally means instead of receiving a new healthcare plan at a lower rate, which is what they thought was going to happen when the enrolled, they will probably be paying more for their healthcare than they were before the law went into effect. Talk about sticker shock! This is a double whammy for these people.

What a fricking mess or what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Sometime politicians get away with their lies, but this time the lie is too big and involves too many people. This cannot be swept under the rug like Benghazi or the IRS Scandel.

I think you are right because while the American people were not directly affected by Benghazi we are all going to feel the pain from this and this is something the people will not forget.
