The Patriot Post® · O'care Workaround: 800-318-2596

At a Rose Garden press conference Monday, Barack Obama “celebrated” the launch of DemoCare, noting there have been a few glitches but advising the nation there are easy workarounds until Healthcare.gov is functional. “You can still buy the same quality affordable insurance plans the old-fashioned way – over the phone. You can get your questions answered by real people 24 hours a day in 150 different languages. The phone number for these call centers is 1-800-318-2596. I want to repeat that: 1-800-318-2596. Wait times have averaged less than one minute so far on the call centers.” Apparently, somebody forgot to tell Obama that the call center “navigators” use the same Healthcare.gov website that has failed consumers, which is to say the wait time on calls is because it only takes a minute to tell somebody there is nothing that can be done by phone!
