For obvious reasons.
Via WNCN:
[T]he government is working to correct these issues and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius even apologized for the problems.
“You deserve better,” Sebelius said in testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. “I apologize. I’m accountable to you for fixing these problems.”
The emails obtained by WNCN also reveal someone’s trying to use BCBS’s name fraudulently in some states to obtain people’s personal information.
The perpetrator is identifying himself as with the “National Health Care Registry,” which the caller falsely claims is taking over healthcare reform contracts from Blue Cross.
The memo indicates Blue Cross North Carolina is aware of the situation and has distributed talking points to its people to help counter those phony claims.
So far, the insurer says none of the phony calls have happened in North Carolina.
Previously WNCN asked BCBS how many people had enrolled, but it declined saying the government would release those numbers sometime in November. In North Dakota, one BCBS official told a public forum the Obama administration specifically asked it not to publicize how many people have signed up.
