New Jersey's Obamacare rollout is "a disaster"
It's not like they had 3 years to figure this stuff out. Oh, wait, yes they did!
The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has clogged the system for nearly all types of health insurance in New Jersey, causing frustration and delays for consumers, agents and policyholders say.
Lingering backlogs have left thousands in limbo, unsure of whether they're covered and unable to reach anyone to find out. Some people who completed applications late last year — before the deadline for coverage to begin on Jan. 1 — are still waiting for insurance cards.
And so are those who have signed up for N.J. FamilyCare, the state's newly expanded Medicaid program, and private policyholders.
The paperwork chaos has real-world consequences, said insurance agent Susan Goodman, director of group benefits for New Agency Partners in Parsippany.
Her clients report pharmacies don't know how much to charge for prescriptions, hospitals are asking for credit cards upon arrival and pre-certifications for special services can't be obtained.
"It's truly, truly a disaster," she said. "I've been doing this for 30 years and I've never seen anything like it."
Meanwhile, yesterday, Obamacare officially jumped the shark.
Your health care is in the very best of hands.

Oh, look, Massachusetts is a disaster too!
