(27,670 posts)It's not paranoia. I do understand the system. I understand it all too well. It's the principle here. I'm quite sure I can get a gold or platinum policy if I choose to.
I elect the government, not wealthy private interests. It is the governments job to verify my identity. The IRS could do it easily. The Social Security Administration could do it easily.
You are missing the point. I have no problem dealing with government agencies.
I don't want government agencies forcing me to communicate with, or engage with, wealthy private interests.
I'm a liberal, and I am sick of privatization, and I'm pissed. I should not be forced by a government program into using private agencies whose services I do not need or want. If I should decide on a policy on the exchange, then I am choosing to engage with a private business entity, and I have a choice to divulge my information or not at that time.
And credit reporting agencies should be outlawed, IMO.
I am still a big fan of the ACA, But this is wrong. I should not have to be forced to submit and bow to a fucking private credit agency just that I despise so they can verify who I am.
