Obamacare customers caught lying on their applications in an effort to bag bigger taxpayer-funded subsidies could get slapped with a $25,000 to $250,000 fine.
Page 409 of the recently released Health and Human Services regulations states that "any person who fails to provide correct information" on the Obamacare application "may be subject to a maximum civil money penalty of $25,000 for each application." Anyone who "knowingly and willfully provides false information" is subject to a "maximum civil money penalty of $250,000 for each application."
A recent Washington Post investigation of internal Obama administration documents determined that "potentially hundreds of thousands of people are receiving bigger subsidies than they deserve" because they "listed incomes on their insurance applications that differ significantly--either too low or too high--from those on file with the Internal Revenue Service."
So will the Obama administration actually slap hundreds of thousands of Obamacare customers with $25,000 to $250,000 fines for submitting incorrect information on their Obamacare applications to score lower taxpayer-funded health insurance premiums?
No, says University of Michigan assistant law professor, Nicholas Bagley.
"The money at stake in any given case is too small, and the process for imposing civil money penalties too cumbersome, to justify much in the way of governmental enforcement," Bagley told Vox.

Let me get this straight.
If you cannot afford insurance and need a subsidy, and lie about your small income, the gov't will slap you with a 250,000$ fine.
So, if you have little or no money, the gov't will put you in debt for life, if they don't kill you off first.
Using this logic Obama should owe Billions of dollars for his lies about Obamacare.

Simple defense: The Federal Government has no Constitutional power to compel a citizen to engage in the purchase of any tangible good or service. The State of Indiana holds a legal precedence that a person can use up to and including lethal force to prevent a denial of Constitutional rights, which was later added to their State Constitution. The Constitution maintains that [i[all Federal powers are enumerated and the People retain many unenumerated rights and powers.
