Insurers reportedly receiving faulty data from ObamaCare exchanges

Insurers say faulty data from ObamaCare marketplaces is straining their ability to handle even the first wave of consumers who were able to sign up for health insurance using federally run exchanges during the glitch-ridden rollout of the new law.

Executives at more than a dozen health insurance companies say they have received data from online marketplaces that is riddled with errors, including duplicate enrollments, missing data fields and spouses reported as children, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

"The longer this takes to resolve…the harder it will be to get people to [come back and] sign up," Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini told the newspaper. "It's not off to a great start," he said, adding, however, that he believes the marketplaces are "here to stay."

I can't understand why you would be against free health care.

Some just blame everyone, even though the ACA is a republican idea, after all Romney put it into MA law long before it was rolled out to the nation (with considerable tweaks, and needs way more work).

I hope these companies at least have the decency to contact the applicants and let them know that their application still isn't processed, so that they won't think they're insured when they actually aren't!
