A recent "undercover enrollment" investigation conducted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that pretty much anyone can sign up for Obamacare and receive taxpayer funded incentives without having to worry about pesky little details like proving citizenship, identity or income-based needs. In fact, the study found that every single one of its 15 fictitious Obamacare applications were actually approved for coverage despite intentional application omissions, fictitious identification and citizenship documentation, etc. Moreover, all of the applications were also approved for federal subsidies which totaled $60,000 per year.
Per the GAO:
Our undercover testing for the 2016 coverage year found that the eligibility determination and enrollment processes of the federal and state marketplaces we reviewed remain vulnerable to fraud, as we previously reported for the 2014 and 2015 coverage years. For each of our 15 fictitious applications, the marketplaces approved coverage, including for 6 fictitious applicants who had previously obtained subsidized coverage but did not file the required federal income-tax returns. Although IRS provides information to marketplaces on whether health-care applicants have filed required returns, the federal Marketplace and our selected state marketplace allowed applicants to instead attest that they had filed returns, saying the IRS information was not sufficiently current. The marketplaces we reviewed also relaxed documentation standards or extended deadlines for filing required documentation. After initial approval, all but one of our fictitious enrollees maintained subsidized coverage, even though we sent fictitious documents, or no documents, to resolve application inconsistencies.

Federal Subsidies = Taxpayers foot the bill.
Well, I’ll be....
zerohedge seems to be dropping bombshells....yet nobody in MSM is picking up on them.
Captain Renault, what is your reaction to all this?
Isn’t this corruption the whole point?
The purpose, in contrast to what our illustrious president tells us, is to get as many indigent foreigners as possible coming here to gather in benefits and elect democrats in perpetuity to keep the gravy train running and keep right on collecting - at the expense of taxpayers, who, whether they know it or not, are subsidizing the democrat party.
The media can no longer disarm inconvenient truths and spin them as conspiracy theorists because the Internet crowd-sourced fact-checking.
Look at how the Blame Russia card fell into tatters within days. Ignoring it does the least amount of damage.
Part of the fundamental change is to bankrupt the parts which worked.
Is it too much to expect that the persons responsible for this breathtaking fraud be at the very least fired all the way up the chain of responsibility (assuming there is one?)
Yes.
We have been in a sea of lies and nobody expects it different. It has been shown so often that the outcome is malaise. The trust is a pinnacle and that was destroyed according to ongoing plan.
This resonates into the next administration for we have been injured and now distrust most everything. That was the way to fracture society and that was intended.
The fraud in ObamaCare is worse than we imagined. And the silence of the GOP leadership to this catastrophe is deafening.
Further evidence that corruption in DC is deep and pervasive. Thank God there are a few folks at the GAO who are still not tainted.
ONE ANSWER
GO TRUMP !
That’s a good issue . TRUMP has a lot of ammunitions
Same as voter registration applications. No need to provide address, SSN, or driver’s license. Just a name.
How does Trump even begin to clean house? So much corruption in every department. Where to start?

cloward-pivin leftist plan to overwhelm systems and cause civic breakdown and chaos.
Which media outlets are mainstream now?
Surprised?
Not in the least.
That’s the best argument against national health care that I’ve seen to date.
Thankfully none of the EITC fraudsters and Obamacare fraudsters would ever try voter fraud.
