Health plans say they are doing everything possible to contact those enrollees who didn't pay -- through email, phone and snail mail. But it's becoming increasingly likely that tens of thousands of Californians could end up the way they started -- uninsured.The insurance companies have taken to every means available to contact these provisional enrollees. They face the same fate which millions of uninsured (and unsure) Americans have struggled with in the federal exchange or their state exchanges.
We have to be responsible citizens. If we do not do our part, we cannot help our community. Were talking about millions of Latinos who do not have health insurance. if you don't sign up ,then your abuelos, your tios will not be able to have the health insurance. People have worked so hard for the last sixty years, where every body in the United Sates can have health insurance. All you have to do is sign up.And even if young Latinos, or members of any other ethnic group, wanted to sign up for health insurance through Covered California, they would uncover sign-upwebsite in Spanish, one which has forced Hispanic applicants to seek help just to decipher the meanings, along with outlandish prices. If young Americans want to be responsible, then they will not take on the costs of Covered California policies, which are prohibitively expensive. President Obama even called on young people to give up their cellphone to get health insurance. That is terribly irresponsible, considering that such communication is crucial just to set up an interview to get a job, which many young people, including Latinos, are struggling to get. President Obama also shamed Hispanic voters in a town hall, claiming that they should prioritize their costs. By the way, President Obama was responding to a gentleman with three kids who lives on $35,000 a year, and the cheapest plan he could find would cost his family $300 a month. The ObamaCare rollout has been an unmitigated disaster, with rising costs, less access, with media affiliates no longer able to carry water for their media-hyped President. Uncovering Covered Califorina, one finds a system which has few insured, fewer who are paying, and fewest of all from the very demographics which the Obama Administration is trying to reach. How low can one go? If you don't sign up, you will kill your Grandpa? Hijole mano!
