I got a call from this #.....funny story! They do not have my cell #.....They have my landline. They called me on my cell. The article also says that they will leave a message each time they are unsuccessful...they were unsuccessful and did not leave a message. I think they would have left a message if legit....that's just my thoughts tho....

It's from a company the gov hired for Healthcare.gov. If your app is incomplete or something wrong, they are contacting you. Mark Lyvers is wrong, read the article.
You want me to believe that a wordpress account is a legit reason to believe this? Anyone can open a wordpress account and put this up to make it look legit.
Well, it seems like it is legit. They gave me the website to Ohio's Medicaid site and the contact number, which both are legit. I listened to the voicemail and even though the dude did sound like he was calling from Arkansas (where the WP said the caller ID was from), he did have all his info correct on the voicemail. For the first time in the history of using this site, I can actually vouch for a number! Who'd a thunk!
