Isn’t Government Run Health Insurance Just so Dreamy?

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is contacting hundreds of thousands of people with subsidized health insurance to resolve questions about their eligibility, as consumer advocates express concern that many will be required to repay some or all of the subsidies.

Of the eight million seven million five million of the millions of people who signed up for private health plans through insurance exchanges under the new health care law, two million reported personal information that differed from data in government records, according to federal officials and Serco, the company hired to resolve such inconsistencies.

The government is asking consumers for additional documents to verify their income, citizenship, immigration status and Social Security numbers, as well as any health coverage that they may have from employers. People who do not provide the information risk losing their subsidized coverage and may have to repay subsidies next April.

If you dotted the wrong ‘I” or left out a “T” ( or they just want to claim you did) the IRS will be calling.  What did you think all those thousands of new agents were for–just harassing the Tea Party?
