Hard to enroll in the ACA? Try UN-enrolling!

Think it's hard to enroll in ObamaCare? Try getting out of it.

Missouri resident Lesli Hill learned the hard way that terminating an Affordable Care Act plan can be far more difficult than navigating the website to buy one. She spent six weeks being bounced from operator to operator, calling the help line, using the online chat, blasting out emails to anyone who would listen, before ultimately driving to Kansas City last week to enlist her insurance company's help. Only then was she able to break through the bureaucratic logjam, and cancel her policy.

"It's consumed my whole life," she told FoxNews.com, albeit with a hint of relief in her voice as she described the Kafkaesque experience behind her.

"I felt like I'd slipped into a parallel universe. ... It's just as hard to go off as it is to get on."

She originally enrolled because her high-risk policy was made illegal by the ACA. Her ACA policy cost $950, a price she wasn't thrilled with, but at least she was covered. But then Blue Cross offered a policy outside of the exchange with better benefits and lower premiums, so she opted for that and went on the healthcare.gov website with the intent of canceling her ACA policy. It looked simple: Click the "terminate" button.

Didn't work. Hasn't ever worked, apparently. Big surprise.

The convoluted, hoop-jumping journey she had to embark on thereafter would be funny if it wasn't for the time, effort, cost, and frustration it generated. The government actually charged her bank account the first premium, even though she had long before told the online helpdesk she wanted to cancel and they assured her that would happen. She was even told that cancellations were handled by a special department. Could she get the number?

NO! It isn't allowed to be given out!!

A corrupt program from a corrupt administration with a corrupt leader. What else can we expect?
