This woman was cited by President Obama in his belief in the PPACA. Afterwards she is then penalized. I am very skeptical of all these errors and how convenient it is for insurance companies to continue to increase rates after their future customers are given a rate quote. Those quotes are suppose to be set in stone when consumers decide to change carriers. There is something wrong here. Once quoted Ms. Sanford's decision to change policies were made and she was then penalized for a logical decision. That, within my understanding, is illegal.
I am not saying there are not problems with the rollout, but, this is very suspicious and more than an egregious error. Isn't there a Senate race in Washington next year? I find that some of the states without good functioning systems are in politically sensitive states. That is predatory and leaves the citizen in a political breach they don't deserve..

...But Sanford said (click here) she was then notified by the state that a miscalculation in tax credit eligibility meant her coverage costs would increase from $198 a month to $280. CNN also notes that Sanford initially paid $169, but had switched plans.
Sanford said she was then notified again of a “system error” and given a higher quote. Alternate plans were out of her budget. Yet another letter explained Sanford would receive no federal tax credit to help cover the cost, which she said she had a “good cry” over.
A spokesperson for Washington’s exchange is “looking into” Sanford’s situation, CNN said.
