Rampant fraud the standard condition on ObamaCare exchanges

The #FAIL in ObamaCare continues to exceed anyone’s wildest imagination. Via the Washington Post: that rightwing nut job media outlet!:-)))))

According to testimony to be delivered before a House Ways and Means subcommittee, undercover GAO investigators tried to obtain health plans for a dozen fictitious applicants online or by phone, using invalid or missing Social Security numbers or inaccurate citizenship information.

All but one of the f**e applicants ended up getting subsidized coverage — and have kept it. In one instance, an application was denied but then approved on a second try. In six other attempts to sign up f**e applicants via in-person assisters, just one assister accurately told an investigator that the applicant’s income was too high for a subsidy.

The GAO’s account of fictitious applicants obtaining subsidized coverage goes beyond a related problem that surfaced this spring and that the investigators also cited: The government may be paying incorrect insurance subsidies to a significant share of the 5.4 million Americans who signed up for health plans for this year through the federal marketplace.

To date virtually no part of ObamaCare has worked as advertised but the subsidy system seems to be little more than a huge pot of money available to virtually anyone without regard to eligibility:

“We are seeing a trend with Obamacare information systems: under every rock, there is incompetence, waste and the potential for fraud,” committee Chairman Dave Camp, a Michigan Republican, told NBC News. “Last month, we found that the administration was unable to verify income or eligibility for insurance subsidies. Now, we learn that in many cases, the exchange is unable to screen out f**e identities or documents.”

Taken in its totality, ObamaCare must be viewed as a program that simply cannot be reformed. Not only is the underlying concept, the federal government seizing control of the market for health and medical insurance, utterly corrupt but each part of the law either defies norms of human behavior, is rife with fraud and abuse, or is simply nonsense. The only solution is to remove it, root and branch, and return to the status quo ante.

My sons and 12 others I signed up are working great and everyone I know that signed up are 100% thrilled. Some are paying a little more more but they have piece of mind that if they get sick they will not get kicked to the curb. Why don't you go on a Blog with people who actually have ACA. You just might get an understanding how great this bill is. Sorry you can't see the real value of the ACA it's helping people and making the healthcare providers very wealthy. Have you checked the stock market for these providers they have gone up approximately 30% since the open exchange. Pharmaceuticals are doing great check it out the facts are there very simple to read and it's not put out by a propaganda machine. States with the the Medicad expansion there hospitals are booming and hiring like crazy they can't get enough help. So goes the theory of the job k*****g bill.

So we have healthcare for all.
Jobs created
Healthcare providers making millions
Pharmaceutical companies booming

So where's the problem ohhhhhhhhh sorry Hobby Lobby

It would appear you lack comprehension of the article. You have twelve people signed up. I am happy if it is benefitting them. The article is about fraud. You went to public schools, right? You totally overlooked the fact the originating article came for that right wing nut job paper the Washington Post and was based on testimony by that other right wing nut job organization the Governmental Accounting Office {GAO}.

I in no way see Hobby Lobby as a problem. It was a very narrowly defined decision by the SCOTUS.
