Cover Oregon

Unilocal has a minimum word requirement for reviews so here it goes… Poor, bad, contempt, unintelligent, disorganized, incompetent, lazy, apathetic, corrupt, logistically inept, clumsy, awkward, difficult, nothing accomplished, lacking enthusiasm, unable, unproductive, forgetful, lacking skill… Look up synonyms to all those words for fun!

This needs a negative star… sadly there is no option for this. So because of the incredible mind of our current (useless) president we are now required to have insurance. Since moving and changing jobs we need to get coverage and would be able to under the changing jobs criteria. We applied online and waited… and of course there is no where online where you can check your status. So we call. to find out they don’t have all the needed information. But what they don’t understand is that we kept a copy of what we submitted. So here was lie one. then we were told we would be on the top of the list and should hear back within a week…2 weeks go by and still nothing. We call again. and they can see the application. again just sitting there. Not one person has reviewed it and this is 20 days later! So now we are told to wait 2 more weeks.
is this a joke? I really don’t understand how this can be run so poorly. But then again it makes sense… it comes from our president. who has seriously messed up health care. What did he say… no one should be without insurance? Well thanks to Cover Oregon… we are! And there is no damn way we will pay a penalty for the laziness we have experienced trying to get coverage.

I filled out the short form (the wrong form) on the Web site, thinking I would be getting a tax credit on the health insurance I selected. (I was not able to get health insurance due to pre– existing conditions). And my income is such I qualify for a tax credit. I was granted health insurance but without the tax credit again because I filled out the wrong form. When I realized my mistake I filled out the long form via telephone. Sure enough I qualified for a tax credit. So a $ 453.00 premium would cost me $ 190.00. But instead of having to pay $ 190.00 per month I was expected to pay $ 453.00 because Cover Oregon was/​is not equipped to make the necessary changes. I managed to squeeze the first months premium thinking Cover Oregon would make the changes in time for the next month. (So far two months and no action). Well, guess what? No changes have been made and I lost my coverage due to non payment. I just can’t afford the $ 453.00 per month. So now I am out $ 453.00, hoping I will get some of that back next tax season and I have no health insurance.
What kind of a business is this? I am very stressed out and once again uninsured!
By the way I called Cover Oregon weekly and I was told I was on their priority list!
Wow, I sure do feel special! NOT
Cover Oregon should be able to take care of this kind of problem even though I made the initial mistake. Now what?

One of the worst run (perhaps not the employee’s fault) government programs I have encountered.
Say they aren’t understaffed but horrible delays and very strange mistakes.
