An estimated 10 percent of all enrollments now being made on the federal Obamacare marketplace contain data errors that could delay people from actually getting health coverage, officials disclosed Friday.
And that error rate for enrollments submitted via HealthCare.gov and then sent to insurers before December was an estimated 25 percent, officials revealed.
The rate fell in the past week, officials said, because of repair efforts to HealthCare.gov's, particular the discovery and fix of one particular software problem that was causing an estimated 80 percent of data errors, officials said.
But both past and present error rates are much higher than 1 percent, the rate which insurers considered to be unacceptable when doing business outside the Obamacare exchanges. And they are raising serious questions about whether significant numbers of people will actually be without insurance Jan. 1 despite believing they have enrolled.
A spokeswoman on Friday said the federal government and insurers now are engaged in a "very intensive process" to identify enrollment applications that contain the so-called "834 errors," and to get them fixed so that people will actually have coverage. The errors included forms not being generated, duplicate enrollment forms, and forms with missing or erroneous data.

In addition to the 834 error rate, another persistent technical problem on HealthCare.gov is preventing it from sending applications for the government-run Medicaid program to the states where the applicants live.
Both glitches could lead to unknown numbers of people not having insurance coverage on Jan. 1 as they assumed they would. And if those people get health-care treatment when they are not covered, they could default on charges they incur, Vogel and other experts told CNBC.com.
IF Obama had been President in 1941,
We’d all be speaking Japanese, German and Farsi.
What’s that got to do with Healthcare.gov?
Fabian Socialists are interchangeable..
FDR gave us Social Security and a World War.
Obama gave us Healthcare designed to fail..
and lit a fire in the Middle East..
That rages on, unabated..

“If you like your plan, you can keep your plan, if we can find it”. PERIOD.
If they say it’s 10% it must be 25%
Lying sacks of sh*t
I also seem to recall that the insurance companies are required to pay out 85% of premiums in claims leaving 15% max for administrative costs. I see lots of administrative costs with fixing a large error rate or they put it back on the government. Something has to give.
