What Others Are Saying…Covered California@Facebook
Michael Kitano “Is anybody still getting an error message when trying to login? Its been a week now…”
Gypsy R. Hartman from Los Angeles “I received a ‘Case Number’ for a plan I don’t recognize! I’ve contacted ‘Covered California’ online–6 days ago (still awaiting that 48 hour response) and I also faxed ‘Covered California’ My ‘Covered California’ agent who signed me up with another plan, says he has no idea what it is….Covered California why don’t you help anyone????”
Robert Lassers from Los Angeles “Covered CA who is running this insane program. So frustrated being on hold for hours. I am soooo frustrated…I have not received a bill for coverage, don’t know if I should cancel my other expensive insurance because I think I am covered with this program. I am in purgatory.”
Robert Finch from Tahoma “I can’t afford $500/month with a $5000 deductible. Who decided to call this affordable?”
Sabru Ha from Los Angeles “I’ve submitted my application with the required documents (online) since December of last year and still haven’t gotten a word from your agency.”
Gabby Plascencia “Any more disappointed. I have attempted to enroll at least 3 times this year only to walk away frustrated and angry. Every time I press the submit button–I keep getting ‘administrative error’ tonight alone, I have attempted and failed to submit the remainder of my application 7 times with no success! I was on hold on your help line for 30 minutes only to get cut off…shame on us. Facebook whose purpose is no where as important as health coverage…can imagine the kind of volume yet we can’t make a page that does not crash!!!”
Cindy Appel “16 total hours on hold over past two weeks waiting on hold with both ‘Covered California’ and Anthem Blue Cross. Still can’t get a person. No response from either party to emails. I just want to pay and start my coverage but I’m still not in the system. Jan 28th has passed. I need to go to the doctor. Somebody out there please help me. Developing nations do this better than us.”
Chela Pollard “I got my card finally from Anthem but there was no policy with it, so my doctor doesn’t know what tests or meds to order. Any suggestions? It is impossible to get through on the phone and the online site keeps telling me that I’ve entered the wrong phone number when I try to contact them. Thanks.”
