No, our government is still not working….fake Obamacare registrations pass.

“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small,but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.”  – President Obama, Inauguration (2009)

Obamacare -Year of the SnakeIt’s like the TSA of the healthcare industry – lots of people, lots of money, and security kabuki medical theater all around.  Well of COURSE if you aren’t doing the vetting, everything costs more less.  For years we’ve heard that the Feds can run our large public dole systems (e.g., SS, SSI, TANF, Medicare, Medicaid) for less overhead than what private companies can.  Of COURSE they can – while private insurers don’t want to lose their own money, it seems that the Feds have no problem in losing $50-$60 Billion of OUR money and most of that is due to that they do far less fraud detection.  And here, with Obamacare registrations, we see the equivalent of the Democrat aversion to checking that voters are valid:

Consumers can enroll in health-insurance coverage, or change from one qualified health plan to another,6 through the federal and state-based marketplaces either (1) during the annual open enrollment period or (2) outside of the open enrollment period, if they qualify for a special enrollment period (SEP)…Our undercover testing included fictitious applicants claiming to have experienced an event that would trigger eligibility to enroll in health insurance coverage during an SEP…We designed the 12 fictitious applications to provide either no documentation or fictitious documentation related to the SEP triggering event, when instructed to do so.

and bingo….

The federal or selected state-based marketplaces approved coverage and subsidies for 9 of our 12 fictitious applicants who initially applied online or by telephone seeking coverage during an SEP, as of October 2016. For these 9 applications, we were approved for APTC subsidies, which totaled about $1,580 on a monthly basis, or about $18,960 annually. These 9 applicants also each were approved for CSR subsidies, putting them in a position to further benefit if they used medical services.

As I have said before, Obamacare really isn’t about healthcare but it IS about wealth redistribution according to the Alinsky “Have vs Have Not” class struggle.  The Have-Nots are being heavily subsidized by the semi-Haves (those just out of range of the subsides) who then have effectively had their healthcare ripped from them due to the high Obamacare premiums and deductibles making THEIR Obamacare policies worthless.

A feature and not a bug in Progressives eyes as their “oppressed class” is now serviced for free.

While this deliberately fraudulent number is very small, imagine when it is writ large across the entire nation – and that is one huge chunk of change.
