Federal government has no system for verifying Obamacare subsidies
Finding out what’s in it: An audit by the inspector general of Health and Human Services (HHS) has found that the agency has no internal system to verify that $2.8 billion in Obamacare subsidies were paid correctly, or even to the right people.
The [inspector general] said the agency did not have a system to “ensure that financial assistance payments were made on behalf of confirmed enrollees and in the correct amounts.” In addition, [HHS] relied too heavily on data from health insurance companies and had no system for state-based exchanges to “submit enrollee eligibility data for financial assistance payments.”
The government does “not plan to perform a timely reconciliation” of the $2.8 billion in subsidies. [emphasis mine]
Not only have they given out billions without proper record-keeping or proper verification, the agency has no intention of fixing the problem. “Ain’t my job, man!”
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

I wonder if this level of incompetence was masterly orchestrated to give payments to organizations and individuals on a grand scale? Are we looking at the modern day $600 hammer to pay for”Black projects” that would otherwise not be excepted by the public? Why rely on rich benefactors like George Soros to manage and fund so many different movements when the government can do it indirectly to shape events of the future by having your minions receive money by simply filling out the proper forms?
A relative married a Mexican national who had five different IDs and collected benefits on all five of them. In exchange, his caseworker gave him a list of people to vote for with the identities. The marriage allowed him to become a citizen, the identities were recycled to someone else.
My niece Said when she worked for workforce services that they would hand out IDs to new immigrants all the time. The more people you helped, the bigger your bonus. The workers know not to say anything after The more people you helped, the bigger your bonus. The workers know not to say anything. The last whistleblowers who gave evidence to the media all went to jail.

Elections have consequences, let the people learn the hard and costly lesson. This is what america needed in order to snap them out of their complacency and apathy.
So the message from the federal government is for Americans simply to lie about their income level and get the maximum subsidy. This makes sense. Liberals measure the success of government programs by how much is spent on them, not by whether the right people receive help or are actually helped by such a program.
But Congress will fix the problem! House Speaker John Boehner will adjust the budget to allocate $4 billion to the government to figure out what happened to that $2.8 billion. He will embed it in other legislation that will have to be passed before people can find out what’s in it.
There is work to be done, we don’t want to disappoint our corporate masters.
