'Many people are just thinking they're going to get free coverage'

Despite recent assurances to the contrary, the federal Obamacare exchange is still not transmitting the correct information to insurance companies, personal information is still at great risk – an even people who’ve applied may not have coverage to see a doctor come Jan. 1.
Furthermore, the administration is now strongly urging insurance companies to provide coverage for people who have enrolled, even if they have paid none or only some of their first month’s premium.
On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney tried to stress that the widely reported technical problems with Healthcare.gov were largely a thing of the past when asked if people would actually have coverage by the New Year.
“What I can tell you is that we are working overtime to make sure that every 834 form is accurate when it goes to the issues at the back end problems that existed. I think you’ve seen a lot of reporting on how those back-end issues have been addressed and continue to be addressed,” Carney said.
Galen Institute President Grace-Marie Turner rejected the notion that the problems getting accurate information to insurers are now solved.
She said, “He’s talking in gobbledygook. How on earth are the American people, who are desperate about losing their health insurance, going to understand that answer?”
Turner testified earlier this month before the House Ways & Means Health Subcommittee. She and the other panelists discussed the possibility of patients thinking they had coverage come January but not actually being insured because of the data problems.
