Feds 'Passive' About Policing Obamacare Fraud, Report Finds (Pelosi knew)

With billions in taxpayer dollars at stake, the Obama administration has taken a "passive" approach to identifying potential fraud involving the president's health care law, nonpartisan congressional investigators say in a report due out Wednesday.

While the Government Accountability Office stops short of alleging widespread cheating in President Barack Obama's signature program, investigators found that the administration has struggled to resolve eligibility questions affecting millions of initial applications and hundreds of thousands of consumers who were actually approved for benefits.

The agency administering the health law - the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services - "has assumed a passive approach to identifying and preventing fraud," the GAO report said. In a formal written response, the administration agreed with eight GAO recommendations while maintaining that it applies "best practices" to fraud control.

No controlling legal authority...

One of the goals of ObamaCare was to enrich political cronies and allow them grift as much as possible until ObamaCare’s inevitable collapse.

Obamacare virtually codifies fraudulent graft and corruption

Not only that, since this is being touted as the “legacy” of this failed president, nobody will admit that it is another disastrous failure (like his foreign policy, economic plans, race relations, etc.). Just like all other affirmative action programs (semi-literate high school and college grads, for example), we’re supposed to pretend Obama (and ObamaCare) succeeded. In the end, it was just another corrupt wealth transfer from the middle class to many 1% and the millions of gibsmedats.
