An undercover operation disclosed on Wednesday shows just how easy it
is to defraud ObamaCare. This is your health care on government.
To test administration claims that it had strict controls in place to verify eligibility and subsidy amounts for ObamaCare applicants, the Government Accountability Office sent a dozen people out to try enrolling with made-up identities.
All but one of the 12 succeeded in enrolling in a subsidized ObamaCare plan. Even for government, a 92% failure rate is awfully bad. In cases where the testers couldn't get past the identity check using an online application, they were still able to enroll over the phone.
Three "applicants" didn't bother to submit any supporting documentation about income or citizenship and still got into the program. The government even sent notices to two of the undercover agents, saying their citizenship information had been verified.
