Fake applicants kept ObamaCare coverage, watchdog finds

Eleven fictitious people created as part of an undercover watchdog effort were able to automatically re-enroll in ObamaCare coverage, a new report finds.

The follow-up report, released by congressional Republicans on Wednesday, finds that those 11 fictitious people were able to maintain their coverage through the end of 2014 and then were automatically re-enrolled for 2015. Some were re-enrolled even though no additional documentation was provided.

I am really beginning to think that cheating is the way to get ahead. Everyone does it. I am beginning to wonder if I am the only one who plays by the rules.

Unfortunately or fortunately, my conscience won’t let me cheat.
