Although it hasn’t been a focus for a while, the incompetent disaster that has been the ObamaCare rollout has been well documented on this site. Here are just a few posts on the subject:

Well the hits just keep on coming. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), recently conducted a study in which investigators attempted to use fake identities to sign up for subsidized healthcare under ObamaCare. The results are frightening. All but one phony applicant was successful. Moreover, the GAO more broadly notes that “about 2.6 million ‘inconsistencies’ existed among applicants who had chosen a health plan.”
The Washington Post reports that:
In undercover tests of the new federal health insurance marketplace, government investigators have been able to procure health plans and federal subsidies for fake applicants with fictitious documents, according to findings that will be disclosed to lawmakers Wednesday.
The results of the inquiry by the Government Accountability Office are evidence of still-imperfect work by specialists intended to assist new insurance customers as well as government contractors hired to verify that coverage and subsidies are legitimate. The GAO also pointed to flaws that linger in the marketplace’s Web site, HealthCare.gov.
According to testimony to be delivered before a House Ways and Means subcommittee, undercover GAO investigators tried to obtain health plans for a dozen fictitious applicants online or by phone, using invalid or missing Social Security numbers or inaccurate citizenship information.
All but one of the fake applicants ended up getting subsidized coverage — and have kept it. In one instance, an application was denied but then approved on a second try. In six other attempts to sign up fake applicants via in-person assisters, just one assister accurately told an investigator that the applicant’s income was too high for a subsidy.
The GAO’s account of fictitious applicants obtaining subsidized coverage goes beyond a related problem that surfaced this spring and that the investigators also cited: The government may be paying incorrect insurance subsidies to a significant share of the 5.4 million Americans who signed up for health plans for this year through the federal marketplace.
The GAO testimony contains updates on that problem, saying that, as of mid-July, about 2.6 million “inconsistencies” existed among applicants who had chosen a health plan and that 650,000 of them had been resolved.
Just more proof of a completely disconnected and incompetent government. As if you needed any more evidence.

Americans continuing to fuck other Americans.
At some point in time the sheeple will just get tired of being “suckers” that go to work each and every day, never get to take a vacation and just barely get by while 1/2 of the population gets it all for free.
The big question: what will Uncle Sugar do to maintain this system once the “suckers” figure it out.
Looking at the numbers, half this country is honest, has a job, and pays taxes (aka suckers), the other half of the population is getting money from the goverment (parasites). 110 million people getting either welfare or disability, the cost is over $1 trillion a year, and Obama increased welfare spending, by 40% since taking office, and removed all all restrictions from obtaining welfare.
If you have a job, you’re a milking cow, your money is stolen at gun-point by the IRS, you don’t pay, you go to jail. It’s blackmail, extortion. The disability scammers are the worst. The government actually caught 270,000 disability recipients going to 4 or more doctors with their free Medicare/Medicaid and free meds, and were getting pain meds and benzos (like Xanax) from each doctor, then selling them on the street. They were making, on average, $4000 cash each month, tax-free. The government did nothing, of course.
The disability scammers work jobs for extra cash, play sports, take vacations, and live the high-life, drive brand new cars, but supposedly can’t work a job. You can video them working a job, playing sports, lifting weights, and take it to the SSDI office of evidence of fraud, and absolutely nothing will be done, because some overpaid union government drone might lose their job, pension, and retirement at 50 and free healthcare. It”s a fucking joke, the whole system, a massive, hundreds of billions a year fraud. But somebody else (you and me) is paying, so who gives a fuck? Socialism, pure and simple. Socialism is great until you run out of other people’s money.
