Home sick.  Laying in bed.  Two calls from an “855” number.  I answer the third call which just came now.  This is how the conversation went (some parts are redacted or paraphrased because I used cuss words in place of real words)

Navigator: Hello, my name is Crystal is this William <redacted>?

Me: Yes it is.  Who’s this?

Navigator: Sir this call may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance is that acceptable to you?

Navigator: Sir do you still live on <Name Of The Street I live On>?

Me: Maybe, who do you work for?  I don’t play twenty questions with strangers

Navigator: Yes sir, I am from <redacted> Outsourcing in New York City sir, I was wondering if you still live at <Name Of The Street I live On>?

Me: I told you the first time, tell me what you want or I won’t tell you that

Navigator: Sir, have you ever considered that you might need affordable healthcare?

Me: Yes I have, that’s why I don’t live in Canada

Navigator: Sir I understand your problems, have you ever considered that the new healthcare law can provide you with access to acceptable and affordable coverage lower than your current plan?

Me: No I haven’t.  Is this an Obamacare thing?

Navigator: Sir, we are <name redacted> and we provide Healthcare services to individuals such as yourself in the New Jersey area

Me: Is this an Obamacare thing?

Navigator: Yes sir, it about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act coverage you are eligible for today

Me: No thanks.

Navigator: Sir we provide access to this type of quality insurance from our location in [redacted]

Me: Bye, I’m hanging up now.  Thanks anyway!

UPDATE:
They called me back ten minutes ago. Same song and dance. This time I just hung up though. This time it was man saying his name is Darrel. Is this a scam?
