GAO sting finds that most fake Obamacare applications are being accepted
The Government Accountability Office conducted a sting operation to test the eligibility verification system of the Obamacare website and the results were not good: 11 of 18 fake applications were approved despite falsified documents.
Here is more:
An undercover operation found that the majority of fake Obamacare applications submitted were approved by the health law’s enrollment system.
Fake applicants were able to get subsidized insurance coverage in 11 of 18 attempts, according to a report from the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office. The agency conducted the sting operation to test the strength of the Affordable Care Act’s eligibility-verification system.
Supporters of the law will claim this proves nothing because the sample is so small but when you look at the lengths the GAO went to in order to create false identities it still calls into question the whole verification portion of the website.
The undercover investigators created fake identities by inventing Social Security numbers, income, and citizenship, and by counterfeiting documents.
It seems like verifying a Social Security number and the citizen status of a potential enrollee should be a fairly easy process for the Federal government but we are talking about the Federal government here so nothing is as easy as it seems…unless of course the Federal government has no interest in verifying the legality of an enrollee in the first place.
This does not bode well for the verification system on the whole–at least from my perspective, the Obama regime might feel as if this is working as planned. With thousands of illegal immigrants pouring over the border in recent weeks, due to Barack Obama’s policies, and being dumped into various communities it seems as if the system is ripe for fraud with the website’s apparently lax verification system for many of them to sign up for healthcare on the taxpayers’ dime.

Well in the end probably about a million or two will have Obamacare insurance with $6000.00 deductibles. All of this to control us. Bummer day.

Thanks for the link, Steve. As you said in your comment on my post, this is a joke. Anyone who can not see that, is either ignorant or willfully blind. Big government at its finest.

Only 11 out of 18? Hey, we can do better than that, this is America.

These are the sort that their happiness results in the unhappiness of the many.
Their sad days motivate them to ‘be happy’ and that means ‘do more damage’ – needing another ‘fix’ to make them ‘feel good.’ It’s a vicious cycle, but it does come to an end, in time.

Sounds like the bureaucrats responsible for creating and fixing the Web site aren’t the only ones phoning it in and doing the “Healthcare Mash”…

Good stuff. Hopefully John Zacherle gets to see this…surely, even at 96 years old he’d get a kick out of it.
