I moved about 5 miles away to a new house. Same City, Same Zip.
I changed my address with credit cards, driver's license, auto registration, magazines, FAA, health insurance . . .
It was that last one that pissed me off. It wasn't my insurance company, but they said I also had to change my address with the Market Place.
I always hate using that web site so I decided to call them I was on hold for around 4 minutes, and the entire call took around 18 minutes (the iphone reports total time). Just to change my address they had to ask a million questions, including whether I was currently incarcerated, of any anyone in my family was incarcerated. I had to listen to several very long disclaimers about how it is a Federal crime to use the system fraudulently and I had to agree each time. They had to verify that my name is the same as on my SS card (which I haven't seen in 30 years). The questions just went on and on.
We paid some telephone operator a quarter of an hour pay to change one address. That might only be a few bucks, but how many times a day does that get repeated. And why do they need to know if I am in jail in order to change my address?

I had to ask myself "WTF is the Market Place" until I read the rest payout thread and figured it out.
Is there any longer any question that the Affordable Care Act had absolutely nothing to do with affordability or care?

Yes. The people that pulled the "D" lever in 2008 and 2012.

The Jail questions get to a slippery slope IMO akin to DNA being used for benign purposes but LEO using the DNA of a relative to track a wanted felon. Sounds like they're building a database to me.
