    HHS REPORT: 1,295,571 OBAMACARE ENROLLEES MAY OR MAY NOT BE LEGAL CITIZENS

    HHS REPORT: 1,295,571 OBAMACARE ENROLLEES MAY OR MAY NOT BE LEGAL CITIZENS



    by WYNTON HALL
    1 Jul 2014,


    A devastating new Health and Human Services (HHS) Inspector General report released on Tuesday reveals that the Obama administration has yet to determine whether 1,295,571 of the over 8 million Obamacare enrollees are U.S. citizens lawfully in the country.

    The finding, located on page 11 of the report, states that 44% of the remaining 2,611,780 application "inconsistencies" are related to verifying "Citizenship/national status/lawful presence." Another 960,492 application inconsistencies were related to verifying whether subsidy applicants provided accurate income information.

    Moreover, the Inspector General report only covered the federal Obamacare exchanges to determine how the Obama administration resolved verification problems through December 2013. As for the 15 state-run Obamacare exchanges, the report says four--Oregon, Nevada, Vermont, and Massachusetts--are simply "unable to resolve inconsistencies."

    As the Washington Post reported in May, as many as one million Obamacare enrollees may be receiving incorrect taxpayer-funded subsidies due to Obamacare's continued technical failures and inability to properly verify income and citizenship eligibility.

    One year ago, conservatives warned that the Obama administration's decision to use the so-called "honor system" for income eligibility was merely a backdoor way to get as many individuals on the public dole as possible.

    The Office of Inspector General determined that "the federal marketplace was generally incapable of resolving most inconsistencies."

    Obamacare will cost U.S. taxpayers $2.6 trillion over the next ten years.

    85 percent of ObamaCare ‘inconsistencies’ can’t be fixed

    WASHINGTON — Federal officials can’t resolve 85 percent of 2.9 million “inconsistencies” on applications for ObamaCare even after nine months of trying, according to new data provided by the administration.

    Most of the problems involve certifying citizenship and income, key components of the national health plan.
    But some of the problems are downright nutty.

    One unidentified state-run marketplace cited situations in which infants and young children were “erroneously identified as incarcerated, according to federal data,” the inspector general for the Health and Human Services Department revealed Tuesday.

    Just 425,000 problematic applications have been resolved out of 2.9 million that states and the federal exchange reported, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services told The Post.

    Only citizens are eligible for ObamaCare, and only people at certain income levels are eligible for tax credits and subsidies.

    But in 77 percent of the applications under scrutiny, federal records differed from what applicants submitted on those two key qualifications.

    The CMS responded that the agency is “committed to verifying the eligibility of consumers who apply for enrollment in qualified plans.”

    The federal Obamacare marketplace was unable to verify nearly 3 million irregularities in the applications for enrollment, according to a new audit by the Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG).
    The audit, released Tuesday, found that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) resolved less than one percent of so-called “inconsistencies” related to the citizenship and residency status of Obamacare sign ups.
    “The Federal marketplace was not able to resolve inconsistencies related to: citizenship, status as a national, lawful presence, residency, family size, annual household income, and whether the applicant was eligible for minimum essential coverage through employer-sponsored insurance,” the audit said.
    “According to CMS officials, as of Feb. 23, 2014, the Federal marketplace had resolved approximately 10,000 of the 2.9 million inconsistencies (less than 1 percent),” the audit said.
    President Barack Obama touted the exchanges for signing up 8 million people, though only 67 percent had paid their premiums as of April. The latest audit raises additional questions on how many enrollees were eligible.
    The OIG examined Healthcare.gov, Covered California, and Access Health CT, the Connecticut exchange. It found all three were ineffective in verifying applicants’ information needed to ensure their eligibility to enroll in a health insurance plan.
    “The deficiencies in internal controls that we identified may have limited the marketplaces’ ability to prevent the use of inaccurate or fraudulent information when determining eligibility of applicants for enrollment in [qualified health plans] QHPs,” the audit said.
    For example, Healthcare.gov was not effective at validating Social Security numbers (SSN), California was unable to verify citizenship, and Connecticut could not confirm proof of identity of applicants over the phone.
    The audit reviewed a random sample of 45 applicants in each marketplace who had been determined eligible. An individual can only enroll if they are a U.S. citizen, have legal status, and are not incarcerated.
    There were 7 out of 45 cases where California did not verify citizenship, and one case out of 44 where Healthcare.gov did not validate an SSN. One application left the SSN blank for the federal exchange.
    “The Federal marketplace did not always validate applicants’ Social Security numbers through [the Social Security Administration],” the audit said. “Without validating an applicant’s Social Security number, a marketplace cannot ensure that the applicant meets eligibility requirements for enrollment in a QHP.”
    Covered California did not verify citizenship information through the Department of Homeland Security when the Social Security Administration (SSA) system “indicated that the applicant was not a U.S. citizen.” In other cases, “SSA information was unavailable because of Data Hub outages or the SSA system was offline.”
    In addition, 30 out of 45 applicants had conflicting application and eligibility data, and California did not resolve inconsistencies in 19 cases.
    All three exchanges were able to verify whether applicants were in prison or not.
    The report also identified “other issues” with the federal and state exchanges, including simply taking an applicants’ word for their identity and residency status.
    “Residency was verified by the federal, California, and Connecticut marketplaces only by accepting applicants’ attestation of residency,” the audit said.
    “Identity proofing of applicants was performed by the California marketplace only by accepting applicants’ electronic signatures or verbal attestations,” it added.
    The government does not require any “further verification” other than the applicants’ attestation of residency.
    “In written comments on our draft report, CMS stated that it did not believe that the marketplaces’ verification of residency by accepting applicants’ attestations needed to be a noted issue,” the OIG said. “CMS stated that the marketplaces followed Federal requirements and there were not comprehensive, national electronic data sources for residency verification available to the federal marketplace.”
    The report was mandated by the continuing resolution Congress passed to resolve the government shutdown last fall, which asked the OIG to report on what safeguards the exchanges have to prevent fraud.
    CMS agreed with the OIG’s recommendations to address inconsistencies.
    “This report confirms what many of us already knew—that despite repeated reassurances from this administration, the systems were not in place to determine income eligibility for Obamacare subsidies when this law was implemented,” said Rep. Diane Black (R., Tenn.). “This outrageous mismanagement of taxpayer dollars will likely lead to billions of dollars in waste and abuse, all because this administration moved forward with implementation despite repeated warnings that the systems were not ready.”

    The Office of Inspector General determined that "the federal marketplace was generally incapable of resolving most inconsistencies."


    The epitome of the oxymoron.

    First of all, the federal government is not a marketplace, it's a subsidy place. Second of all, the federal government is generally incapable of resolving anything, because it chooses to grow problems instead of solve them. Third of all, a federal government that treats illegal aliens better than it does our veterans has no consistency, generally or specifically.

    Our government is corrupt at its core because the people working in these socialist-aimed programs from the IRS to DEA to HHS to DHS have no goal at all except to grow and preserve their jobs and benefits, no matter the risk or consequence to fellow citizens or our nation, by perpetuating the problem, not curing it.

    We're Americans, we're supposed to know this already. So, why do so many still not? Oh wait, didn't 60% of Americans oppose Obamacare after they read the bill? Well, yes. Don't 70% of Americans oppose illegal immigration? Why, yes. Don't 90% of Americans who know about the FairTax legislation want it passed yesterday? Well, of course. So, it's not our fault we're in this poison pickle. It's the phony representatives in our fake representative government who have failed US, and it's time to clean house in 2014, 2016 and 2018, and get rid of all these two-timing reptiles selling US all down the river faster than we can count the ways.

    Throw the bums out!
