The 14 states running their own health insurance marketplaces had all their startup costs footed by the federal government, but they're supposed to pay for themselves starting next year under the new federal health care law.
In several states, it's not clear whether it will work out that way. Projected enrollments are lower than expected, meaning the insurance surcharges designed to sustain the exchanges might not generate enough revenue in the years ahead without significant changes in the financing model.
Officials in some states are stashing away federal grant money to continue paying for operations beyond the January 2015 target date for financial self-sufficiency. Others are contemplating staffing cuts or boosting insurance surcharges.
To date, the 14 states operating their own exchanges, plus the District of Columbia, have received nearly $3.8 billion to start and operate their health insurance exchanges, according to a state-by-state tally by the Associated Press.

(SIGNIFICANTLY) some states are stashing away federal grant money to continue paying for operations beyond the January 2015 target date for financial self-sufficiency. Others are contemplating boosting insurance surcharges.
Ut, oh.....some states are stashing away federal grant money? How are they doing this---offshore accounts, secret LLC accounts, campaign accounts? Crimes might also include---conspiracy. collusion, falsifying official documents (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extorting taxpayers, theft of govt monies, misuse of public office and government positions.
NEED TO KNOW Taxpayers should demand to know the scope and dimension of multiple conspiracies by government insiders to collude in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting. This could be prosecuted under the Bank Secrecy ACT, RICO, and the Hobbs Act.
OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT the FBI should interrogate O/Care exchange insider for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify documents to further insider schemes. The FBI should investigate any and all official documents submitted.
Crimes might include---conspiracy. collusion, falsifying offical documents (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extorting taxpayers, theft of govt monies, misuse of public office and government positions.
SAMPLE LETTER TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
Taxpayers are urged to notify the FBI now.
FBI TIPS PAGE https://tips.fbi.gov
SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, and bribery
IN RE: financial irregularities
REFERENCE: govt fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, etc.
Right now the FBI is tied up investigating some cones being used to block a lane of traffic on that bridge from NJ to NYC, per Holders directions.
This requires them to subpoena every email and document that the NJ government produced in the last three years.
No time left for investigating Obamacare crimes or IRS crimes.
It's time the Bank Secrecy Act was mobilized----to determine the timing of holding opn the govt allocations, and how govt monies changed hands in the process.
<><> L/E needs to examine the state exchanges' assorted bank accounts and state campaign accounts.
<><> Joint exchange bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer of campaign funds from one account to another.
<><> Democrats may have received payments for personal and private expenses, campaign expenses, credit cards, real estate subsidies and vehicle purchases as an incentive to go on record attacking conservatives.
<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate govt purposes. The scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of exchange funds for insiders and/or legislators' personal use.
===============================================
NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.
=============================================
<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of exchange checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records. L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
<><> L/E should scrutinize state exchange accounts and campaign bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures---or to finance campaign activites.
Tax fraud can also be facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from foundation accounts into personal a/nd campaign accounts.
<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support campaign activities and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses.
Taxpayers demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute govt fraud pronto.
And study exchange personnel and legislators' tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....especially entries for "interest income."
My God---what WAS I thinking? Important work could be threatened.
Just goes to show---no good deed goes unpunished. "Pubbie Hugs a Dem president, gets subpoeaned."
Quick question - who is paying for the commercials touting the benefits of Obamacare?
Choices have to be made - can't throw scarce resources at everything. But it does appear feds are becoming the enforcement arm of the democrat party. Might get them more funding in the short run. In the long run it'll destroy their credibility...
The FBI needs to protect the American people and our system of laws. If they can't do that they're useless...
Quick answer: you are.
People who still have a job and still pay taxes?
