Another insurance debacle

Obamacare isn't the only screwed up system.....Georgia has a new system for food stamps & medicaid and it's a mess too - it even went offline.
On Oct. 25th I received a phone call to renew my food stamps online. I got to the site and learned my medicaid was due, too....so, I renewed both programs online. I was told wait 24 hrs and then call the 800 number for my phone interview. I did that, too. I could not get past hold from 9 am to 5 pm so, I called the next morning and after an hour got a human who promptly hung up on me. I had spent about $55 on phone calls and drew the line there....I wrote a letter to my last known rep.
Today - Nov. 4th - I received 2 letters from DCFS - one says they will call me at 10 am Oct. 25th (which would be after the first call telling me to renew online and over a week late for an interview). The second letter says I need to make a new appointment for an in-person interview which I cannot get to. OY! I responded to this person with a new letter.
There is a third letter telling me I need to renew my medicaid....which I did on the 25th!!
If only government (any gov.) knew what they were doing!!
