“If you like your checking account, you can keep your checking account …”

December 15, 2013


Well, it’s not like your actually earned your money … 

Shannon Bruner of Indianola logged on to her checking account Monday morning, and found she was almost 800 dollars in the negative. 

“The first thing I thought was, ‘I got screwed,’” she said. The Bruners enrolled for insurance on the Washington Healthplanfinder website, last October.

 They say they selected the bill pay date to be December 24th. Instead the Washington Healthplanfinder drafted the 835 dollar premium Monday. [...] 

They’re not alone. One viewer emailed KING 5 saying, “They drafted my account this morning for a second time.” 

Another woman on Facebook with a similar problem commented, “We are all in the same boat.” “We’ve got to figure out how to get money to pay the bills for the next week or two until we have another check come through,” said Josh Bruner. 

“It’s just crazy.” Washington Healthplanfinder emailed the Bruners a few days ago telling them to log in to view their invoice, something they couldn’t do because the website has been down. 

The Bruners haven’t been able to get through on the helpline either. 

They finally contacted Healthplanfinder administrators by posting a message on their Facebook page.

When Obama has your PIN, it’s Christmas all year round. For him. Indeed.
