Now that we have your bank account number we are going to take 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.
Josh Bruner started his own business this year as an engineering recruiter. They said it’s forced them to pay a lot of attention to their bills and their bank accounts.
“Big knot in my gut because we’re trying to keep it together,” said Shannon Bruner. “It’s important to me that this kind of stuff doesn’t happen.”
They’re not alone.
One viewer emailed KING 5 saying, “They drafted my account this morning for a second time.”
Any one who trusts the government in any way deserves it. A whole lot of Americans are getting a lesson in politics. I expect they will remember these lessons for the rest of their lives.

hey simon its the anniversary of newtown you forget or just no guts?
Well you have a point. How about a bit on the murders of Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot? Or maybe the National Socialists.
I could resurrect some of your comments for incidental music.
But not to worry. I think ∅bamaCare(less) will kill enough people to make you happy. Theft is just the first step.
“I expect they will remember these lessons for the rest of their lives.”
You’re an optimist. I’m just hoping they remember until the next election.
Oh – and for Captain: Had the teachers been armed, a lot fewer people would have died. (I won’t say none – when you have a nutcase involved, who knows. But he’d have been one of the ones who died a LOT sooner.)
Simon, I think you missed the point of the Capn’s request. He *likes* guts. (Apparently he doesn’t rise to the level of the zombie who at least have the mental capacity to prefer brains.) I think that his complaint is that until he runs those re-education camps, he won’t be able to get any in the first person. So he has to subsist on fantasy. And you’re not providing him with any, damn you, you heartless American capitalist libertarian you!
For the second week in a row, the Washington Healthplanfinder website is down, and it’s causing problems for people who are dealing with billing issues. Some of them say the website is mistakenly debiting their accounts.
Today, the accidental debit. Tomorrow the “accidental debit” by policy courtesy of the IRS.
