Big New Fire Breaks Out on ObamaCare Train Wreck – ‘Millions’ of Signup Mistakes Threaten Coverage

It’s a fair question to ask why anyone would want the job of ObamaCare’s chief administrator and advocate…especially in light of the newly revealed, widespread problems in determining who is eligible for how much in the way of a federal subsidy.
But it seems that President Obama’s nominee to head up the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) really wants the title, even with a huge new paperwork nightmare awaiting her.
Sylvia Mathews Burwell, who currently serves as Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, appears headed for Senate confirmation as the new HHS Secretary, replacing Kathleen Sebelius.
Among the many ObamaCare headaches Burwell will face if she gets the job is a new pain that’s just popped up, or at least just revealed. As the Associated Press reports:
…a government document provided to the AP indicates that at least 2 million people enrolled for taxpayer-subsidized private health insurance have data discrepancies in their applications that, if unresolved, could affect what they pay for coverage, or even their legal right to benefits.
The final number affected could well be higher. According to the administration the 2 million figure reflects only consumers who signed up through the federally administered HealthCare.gov website and call centers. The government signed up about 5.4 million people, while state-run websites signed up another 2.6 million.
For consumers, a discrepancy means that the information they supplied, subject to perjury laws, does not match what the government has on record.
This new nightmare, affecting some 25 percent of ObamaCare enrollees, could be only the tip of a much larger iceberg of data “inconsistencies”.
An individual who has signed up for ObamaCare coverage could have more than one data problem. The House Energy and Commerce Committee says its investigation shows there are at least 4 million inconsistencies, mostly unresolved.
No wonder Democrats running for election/re-election to the Senate or the House are mostly running away from ObamaCare as fast as they can.
