The article being less than clear, here is a stab on how t this might have been happening — less a deliberate scam than just moronic government policy. Corrections invited.
Let’s say a low-income individual signed up on the “Exchange” for a subsidized insurance plan they pay little or nothing for. Once they consume healthcare, they find that they can’t pay thousands for the huge deductibles these policies require. So they sign up for Medicaid. The “exchange” policy cooks along, with the federal government paying for insurance no one is using. Meanwhile the federal government reimburses states, which operate Medicaid, for whatever expenses the patient consumes. The insurance company holding the unused ObamaCare policy is profitting from this and has no incentive to prompt cancellation.
I’m curious why the Bidenistas stopped crosschecking for duplication. Who specifically caused that — surely their mama gave them a name?
I have heard THAT is exactly what is happening...an oregon hosp admin guy said so on local radio
