Odd geezer still tryin' to get "health insurance" from Obamacare "experts"

This is the first time I was aware we were supposed to contact the insurance company about payment.
Odd that the professional chatter didn't have the phone number of Michigan BCBS, as there are ONLY 3 insurance providers in the entire state of Michigan who are part of Obamacare.
Then again, not so surprising.....
We are SOOOOO screwed!

Thank you for your patience. I am still researching that information.

[10:27:05 am]: PGSUT0944

This may take a little bit, my computer isn't pulling up the number so, I am contacting someone else to look it up.

We do not have the number for Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield but, if you call your State Department of Insurance, they can give you the number. Their number is (877) 999-6442.

I thought I was to pay the federal government, not the local insurance company. Obamacare is to bill me. Right?

[10:33:04 am]: PGSUT0944

No, payment goes through the insurance company.

[10:35:06 am]: PGSUT0944

Your insurance company is supposed to tell you how to make the payment but, since you haven't received materials, you would need to contact them.

[10:35:20 am]: james

thank you
