So, finally managed to get someone on the phone with ACA that went over my records and cleared me for coverage. Signed up, got a tax credit, picked a plan, paid a premium and I should be done right?

LoL.

Despite having a record of the charge they claim no payment was received. So much for having insurance.

The Federal Services Database or something has been down (probably for just me) in the last 2 months I've tried to get care from Covered California. At this point, I have to take a day off of work (hard when you're the only employee) and go down to the county health office for them to make sure I am a real human being. I just want to give them money!

Supposedly I'm going to be a contributor to a cracked article soon. :ssh:

It's probably about what half of AI thinks it's about. It'll be interesting to see what the draft looks like. Especially since I was :2bong: out of my skull when I gave them stories.

You picked Blue Cross, didn't you?

I got a past due payment notice in the mail from my ACA insurer... showing a negative balance past due and giving dire warnings about cancelling my policy if I don't get caught up soon. I paid Jan-Mar this year in advance, and that was enough to piss off their billing system. :fuckoff:

He disappeared for a while and then resurfaced a few months back. Not seen him since though, hope dude's ok.

The loving White House Press Secretary quoted the Onion on Twitter. Specifically this post talking about how his job is going to be to provide robust misinformation :

On top of that, this whole EO regarding travel bans was never run past the DOJ or DHS before a couple hours before signing. It's just something Bannon and company cooked up and realized they'd never get past anyone with a legal background, so pushed it straight to signing.

Well throw up a link when it pops up then mate, I haven't actually looked at cracked in like 4 years now. Is it worth going for a look these days by the way? or are they still 80% waffling drivel about their favourite/least favourite media.

Honestly, the only time I even think to look at cracked is when a clickbait article pops up on the facebook thing. I used to pay a lot more attention to them, but I'm at the point where the only internetting I do is streaming video, a few minutes of facebook, a couple of forums, and checking local news/weather. :corsair:

It seems like a long process for them to approve anything; the interview was done during the first week of Nov. I got an email saying the article had been approved about a week ago, and that they'd send me a rough draft soon. I got interviewed only because of some stuff I posted on reddit's /r/talesfromthepizzaguy

I'm almost more offended that this action was done so incompetently, rather than the horrible, bigoted nature of it.

It's like you expect politicians to enact policies to discriminate against people and screw over the vulnerable, but the fear comes when you realise that a badly thought-out order from above, which was possibly written in crayon, can affect the entire machinery of a civilised country.
