Look! Squirrel! IG report shows Obamacare in a world of hurt
American Thinker ^ | July 2, 2014 | Rick Moran

What crisis should we focus on today so that we can safely ignore the latest IG report from HHS on Obamacare? The IRS is always good for a distraction but I think wse should resurrect Ukraine. There hasn't been a war scare there for weeks.

Anything but the IG report. That's because the conclusions reached by the HHS inspector general are so damning of the failure of the entire enterprise that an already angry public will probably reach for the pitchforks and start warming up the tar and tearing up the feather pillows.

There are 5 major issues found by the IG - all of which have the potential to massively increase calls for Obamacare's repeal

1. Fraud could be significant. The audit found the federal government has been unable to resolve 2.6 million out of 2.9 million “inconsistencies” in the information provided by people who applied for health care subsidies. In other words, it could not verify the data provided by people seeking subsidies.

2. Most inconsistencies were about citizenship and income. The vast majority of the questionable data provided by those receiving health care subsidies relate to citizenship and income level. The audit found that 44 percent of inconsistent information concerned verifying citizenship or lawful presence. Income information made up 33 percent of the potentially faulty data, and in 11 percent of cases, the government couldn’t verify whether a person was truly ineligible for employer-sponsored insurance.

Pissed off a liberal friend on Facebook pointing out the IG report - felt good - think I’ll do it again soon.

Website woes? Let’s just say, I do not believe it. It is designed to defraud the working class by two things. First forcing people into state and federal free care, second I don’t think they care about verifying income and citizenship. I think it is working as planned. The plan? Send more money, now or the IRS or DFWS will come to your door and shoot you and your dog. BTW, thread jumping question... Are the IRS and Department of Wildlife ARs fully automatic? I guess we could ask the good folks at Gibson guitar.

The over arching goal is to loot the treasury and bankrupt the country. Working as planned.

“Pissed off a liberal friend on Facebook pointing out the IG report “

I’ve discovered conservatives do not have liberal friends. We have liberal acquaintances. Don’t invest anymore time in your acquaintance. If you do it will be wasted.

Good point. In the interest of accuracy, we were high school classmates and live in different towns so “acquaintance” is the correct term.

O’Keefe had undercover videos of 0bama care Navigators coaching enrollees to cheat and under report income.

Now the IG is surprised there are so many problems????

An old computer term, GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out), works to describe this mess
