1.3 million Obamacare ‘enrollees’ may not even be American citizens, admits HHS report

More evidence of the Obama.Care sign-up problems and inaccuracies.

Now a report says many "enrollees" may not be eligible to begin with.

How much will this cost to fix ?

It's never ending.

The HHS is still wrestling with "verification" 3 million applicants.

The story says some States are in the same log jam.

Hard to trust the best and brightest now.




Trouble is brewing in Washington as those who still consider legitimate the national healthcare takeover known as Obamacare try to figure out which enrollees are even eligible for coverage. A new report issued by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) admits that nearly 1.3 million Obamacare enrollees, or about 16 percent of the overall total, cannot be verified for legal status in the U.S. — in other words, most, if not all, of them are illegal immigrants rather than American citizens.

The shocking figures can be found on page 11 of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report, entitled Marketplaces Faced Early Challenges Resolving Inconsistencies with Applicant Data. According to the figures, 1,295,571 “inconsistencies” — this is a politically correct way of implying missing or fraudulent data — found on Obamacare applications involved issues of citizenship, national status or lawful presence in the U.S., meaning applicants did not or could not verify this important information.

For every rat you see, there are 20 more you don't. What does that tell you about this latest debacle? With the recent "opportunity" of immigrants being bussed in those numbers are likely to start getting more outrageous.

Obamacare puts me in mind of the Yugo and Edsel... I laughed for a long time, but now it just isn't really funny or cute. It's a shade or two more ridiculous that this has been allowed to become the monstrosity that it currently is.

The only way to *fix* this debacle is to trash the whole damn thing. It should have never been shoved down our throats to begin with. It started with a lie, and will take an endless line of lies to keep it going.

Since Obamacare is unconstitutional I couldn't agree more.

Being its designated a tax by the Supreme Court ruling, and since all tax bills are required by the Constitution to originate in the House, and the mess we have now started in the Senate, it just needs to go away. I don't mind medical healthcare reform, but not in the form of Obamacare.

The sooner Obama and the Democratic party understands we do not live in a socialist society, the better off we all will be.

This is par for the course......



“The Federal marketplace was generally incapable of resolving most inconsistencies,” admits the report, noting that a large percentage of these faulty applications will likely never be resolved, at least not until the eligibility verification system becomes operable



So, when will it, if ever, become operable???
Maybe when it ends up in the junk yard. LOL



Obamacare should never have been passed to begin with
But hey, we gotta pass it to see what's in it, so what difference does it make?!

Sorry folks, a little humor here, trying to make some sense of all this BS coming out of DC lately

Each applicant can have multiple inconsistencies. Inconsistencies do not necessarily indicate that an applicant provided inaccurate information or is enrolled in a qualified health plan or is receiving financial assistance through insurance affordability programs inappropriately.

So, they did a study to determine the accuracy of applicants. (Great idea!) NATIONWIDE. They found inconsistencies and they are working to resolve them.

This is news?

As much as I would love to see this trashed....what about all the millions of people who are now on unACA?
ACA gets trashed....and they are screwed.
People who through no fault of their own got dropped from their insurance....and all the others legitimately on unACA.

Fixing things?

Trust me....from personal experience....and fixing is a vast mess of the blind leading the blind.
The insurance companies are in the dark about problems.
.gov is n the dark about problems.
And, they pretty much don't know how to talk to each other to fix stuff.

I had a simple problem....took FOUR months....dozens of phone calls taking days worth of hours of my time.

I don't have an answer to that DTOM. I don't think anyone does. It's a total mess, that didn't need to happen.

What is going to happen with all the new illegals that will be put on Obmacare. Where is the infrastructure to deal with the red tape and confusion of adding millions of undocumented people to the broken system. If they can't even get it kinda right, here with our own people first...what the hell do they plan on doing now? Never ending money pit to the max.

Look how long it took you to rectify what should have been as simple as pressing a delete key. It boggles the mind how this monster keeps growing with no plan on how to bring it under control.

I hate to break it to you, as much as I don't like it, but you and I live in a socialist society. We have gone from, "Don't ask what your government can do for you, but what you can do for your government" to, "How much can I get the government to do for me and provide for me." We now live in a society where more people are looking for handouts and Get Out of Jail Free cards.

ETA: Sad to say, I don't think those looking for free handouts are primarily immigrants. I think it is largely made up of US Citizens.

I refuse to give into the morons in office. I am not going to just give up and allow them to win be default. It is our country and our government.

I am not advocating giving up. I am just saying that to choose not to acknowledge that we live in a society that thinks its entitled to everything is just plain denial. When you are in a situation that does not meet with your approval, you have two choices:

  1. Work to make it better.
  2. Leave.

Some are choosing to leave the US and renounce their citizenship while others are choosing to stay and make a difference.

I choose to stay and I encourage others to stay and work towards improving this country.

ACA has never went full blast. The delays and exceptions and exemptions made sure.

The courts have dismantled some of it as well.

ACA can (and probably will) be dismantled further.

And the subsidy/IRS problems will make a worse scenario for many people.

Anybody who has insurance now can keep it if they like it !!

I didn't mean to imply you gave up. I was referring solely to me and my position on that.

As for the options I agree - I also choose to stay to try and make things better. What's concerning are the ones leaving. I think the ones leaving are the ones we need to fix things.

So that is how the current administration reached their 'target'.

Hell between medicaid being created that was specifically for those 'poor,huddled,masses'.

Hey it's a party !

Put people who don't even belong here to make the ACA 'work'.

Step right up!

Come one!

Come all !

Get your free healthcare over there !

The line starts at the border.

Ends on Capitol Shill.
