When my wife signed us up for health care through the state she was off by one day on my birthday. For the last year my life has been an absolute nightmare of people saying they fixed it but (surprise!) they didn't, getting insurance reimbursements & referrals bounced bc of the wrong date, having to spend hours on the phone trying to get it corrected so I'm not billed full amt at every single provider (surprise! It's never fixed!)

US health care makes Kafka's bureaucracies look simple & easy

@AbandonedAmerica A car dealer mixed up 'buyer' and 'seller' on a title for my car once. Super obviously a mistake. It took three days off work and some good old-fashioned bribery to 'fix'. But then a few years later it broke down and I left the car with another dealer, and he spent days calling the DMV. At one point, he threatened to sue me because he had to store my old dead car for months while it was in legal limbo.

This place is an ID Management disaster.

@AbandonedAmerica another person I know issued all their student loans in their grandparent's name. Nobody bothered to check that the undergraduate loans were issued to an 80 year-old or that an eighteen year-old showed up for class. Their parents were handling finances for both student and Grandpa, so he never even knew, but in death, be erased $60K of debt.

@DarcMoughty wow, that second one sure has a happy ending at least (RIP grandpa, though)
