Am I glad I never signed up with Covered California. This state ObamaCARE exchange has been revealed to divulging personal information for tens of thousands of rubes who actually signed up without their permission or knowledge. If I eventually get kicked off my health care plan next year, there is no way in hell I’ll ever comply with ObamaCARE and sign up with Covered California. This is just another example as to why people should never sign up for socialized medicine. Covered California gave out names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses to insurance agents without the knowledge, or permission of the person who’s info was actually divulged.
The California health exchange has admitted it has been divulging contact information for tens of thousands of consumers to insurance agents without their permission or knowledge in an effort to hit deadlines for coverage.
Covered California said it was handing out consumer information as part of a pilot program to help people enroll ahead of a Dec. 23 deadline to have health insurance in place by the new year, according to the Los Angeles Times. The consumers in question had gone online to research insurance options, but didn’t ask to be contacted.
Social Security numbers, income and other information were not provided to the agents, but names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses were made available, exchange officials said.
