So, it took me a week to first set up an account on the marketplace because of all of the website issues. Then, all forms of identity verification failed... even though they have my name, address, birthday, social security number, income tax information from this year and basically anything somebody would need to steal my identity. So, I have to upload a picture of my drivers license. I wait and I wait... nothing after 2 weeks. So I call and they say it'll be another week or two. Wait and wait... now they suggest I call in and get conference called with somebody at experian.

We can't verify identity of our own people so we get experian to do it for us?

A company like Experian is involved pretty much every time you sign up for something financial. Getting health insurance, credit cards, bank accounts, even car rentals will all include the company referencing a company like Experian.

That said, the system sucks currently. Good luck.

I can understand private companies using experian, but I can't imagine why the government would need to use them. Does the IRS reference them too?

They sure do, unfortunately. Those credit reporting agencies have wiggled their way into too many important places.

That health exchange website is completely fucked. Every time I'm halfway through my application I get a "system down" message and have to restart everything. I think I'm just going to pay the $95 fine for not having insurance next year.

That is crazy! Our entire world is run by them and the banks I guess. Or it feels that way.

Yea, it is horrendous. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt the first week because of huge amount of server load... but I think that grace period has passed. I have to have coverage though because I am currently enrolled in the PCIP program, which stops working Dec 31st... and I need insurance to help pay medical/prescription fees

Alright, screw this whole process. Just got off the phone with them and the level of screwed up mess is higher than I thought. So this whole month and a half that I have been waiting has been for nothing. They dont know when they will get around to checking my ID or if they even have it. On top of that, I did my application before they put in some system that gave you a long ID to give to experian if you call. This ID is only given once. I dont have this ID. So I have to do a new application. And they cant guarantee that the new one will finish before Dec 15th cutoff date, which means I would have a full month of no insurance and a risk of a $10k hospital bill if something goes wrong with my diabetes.

Sue the government for it's shitty system, I hear so many stupid stories of suing that this sounds like an easy win.

And damages could be your mental health and wasted time for the past month too, as well as any future stuff .

If it came down to owing a big medical bill, I might try. I might at least consult a lawyer. If my meds dont last I might consider too, since I dont really want to pay ~$650-700 out of pocket.

Due to the obamacare transition.

Called again today to try and finish my application, apparently their system is being upgraded (again?) and is having issues so they werent able to access my application.

Worried I am going to have to do a 3rd application.
