If you wonder what your interaction with the healthcare czar/governing board/committee of DC bureaucrats might be like should government health insurance be imposed on you, just hope and pray it’s not like my experience today with a federal agency. Prompted by a filled-with-bureaucrateze letter I received, I called the agency.
The first thing the voice on the other end asked for was my social security number. I declined and then was told that my address might do. When I asked to be transferred to someone who might know more about the letter I received, I was told I couldn’t be transferred without having completed a questionnaire, which would be mailed to me.
Then the person told me he was having computer problems. He was very polite and seemed to be used to computer problems. After a very long pause he told me he would transfer me to someone whose computer was working better, and with a very polite, gee I hope this works comment, I was disconnected.
Yep, let’s turn the healthcare system over to this type of operation.
