You have 360,000 frauds who faked their income levels. You have another 966,000 illegals who have fraudulently signed up. It seems the PR number of 8 million enrollees is really 6.7 million. And these are just the frauds the administration is admitting to. You know it is far worse. There are probably 5 million legitimate enrollees and most of them already had insurance coverage before Obamacare. This abortion of a program was sold to the American people as the salvation for the 30 million uninsured Americans. Obama has managed to drive healthcare premiums up by 50% to 100% since 2009 and has only covered 10% of the uninsured population. I can’t understand why the Democrats don’t want to run on their prize piece of legislation and Obama has delayed the really bad shit until 2015 after the elections. What a clusterfuck.
Administration threatens to cut off ObamaCare subsidies to 360,000
The Obama administration announced Monday it will cut off tax subsidies to about 360,000 people if they do not offer proof of their income in the next two weeks.
Officials will send final notices this week to individuals who signed up for ObamaCare with income levels that didn’t match government records. The announcement marks the administration’s first move to tackle the politically charged issue of income verification, which has remained a key GOP argument against the healthcare reform law.
Those who don’t confirm their income levels could lose their tax credit and face higher premiums and higher deductibles.
Nearly 90 percent of the 8 million people who signed up for ObamaCare have received government subsidies. The average consumer pays $82 per month for a $346 plan, receiving an average subsidy of $264.
The administration had already warned that it would end coverage for the 966,000 individuals whose immigration status could not be confirmed by the government.
About 115,000 people will lose coverage this month if they do not submit their paperwork, Andy Slavitt, principal deputy administrator at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, told reporters Monday.
A total of 1.2 million people have had income inconsistencies since the launch of ObamaCare last year. About 800,000 people have since submitted verification.
The federal government is still missing paperwork for nearly a half-million people who signed up for insurance over the last year. Slavitt stressed that individuals may be able to regain their coverage during a special enrollment period if they can prove their citizenship status or income level.
The administration will continue calling and sending letters to individuals who have not submitted the paperwork. Many have already been contacted up to a dozen times, Slavitt said.He stressed that people with income verification issues will not lose their coverage.
“If people still pay their premiums and can demonstrate their eligibility, they’ll continue to be enrolled,” Slavitt said Monday.
Many of the verification problems stem from the HealthCare.gov website, which experienced technical glitches throughout its rollout. Slavitt was brought this year in to resolve some of the problems.
Some immigration advocates have blamed the website as a barrier for people trying to provide documentation of their citizenship.
“I’m hopeful and confident that people will continue to respond to a greater degree,” Slavitt said, predicting a last-minute surge before the deadline. “We recognize that we still have work to do here.”
At a hearing last week by the House Ways and Means subcommittee on health, Republicans accused the Obama administration of using “the honor system” when asking consumers to self-disclose their income.
“That’s why the White House has lost, in my view, the trust of the American people,” subcommittee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) told Slavitt at the hearing.
The goal of this program at the outset was to reduce anyone in the Middle Class to poverty.
The whole point is to hit those WITH money with expensive premiums and huge deductibles until they “spend down” to poverty levels.
What is so difficult to understand?
Affordable health care in this country is a joke, case point, we just received a bill notification from the hospital were my mother in law was admitted after suffering a mild stroke. It wasn’t a bill, just a notification letting us know what the total amount of their services would be. Bare in mind that she was admitted on a Sunday at 1:15p and discharged at 4:45p that same afternoon. She was in the hospitals care for approx. 3 hours and 30 minutes. The total charges for her care during that small amount of time are $31,473.82. I cannot wait to see the itemized accounting for all of these costs because I cannot get my feeble brain around what they could have possibly done in that short period of time that could have cost so much money.
I am expecting a ledger of incredibly overpriced charges for every little inch of gauze and every aspirin she was given. Granted insurance will cover some of the costs but still, I have a hard time understanding why insurance companies don’t bow up more on health care service costs. I’m sure it is all a interwoven cash grab by all the parties involved and another way to get all the money out of the peoples pockets.
Another example of shit being fucked up and bullshit.
Then there’s this:

Take away line:
TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — According to an investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the enrollment system for the Affordable Care Act (ACA or “ObamaCare”), gets a score of 92 percent for incompetence, writes New York neurologist Lawrence R. Huntoon, M.D., Ph.D., in the fall issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons.
A 92 percent for incompetence. I am willing to bet the fraud rate is much higher than they are even admitting with 80% of the enrollees being subsidized. Tax season going to be fun next year at the IRS as they try to enforce these overpaid subsidies.
Bob.
Oh wait then then there’s this great news:
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/cbo-cost-obamacare-subsidy-will-increase-8-fold-10-years
Yes the cost of the Obamacare subsidies will increase 8 fold over ten years. The government has never underestimated medical program costs. Oh wait see Medicare part D. We are so fucked.
StuckyCare Affordable Health Plan
1— Don’t get sick.
2— If you do get sick, load up on natural remedies, vitamins, minerals, etc.
3— If that doesn’t work, pray.
4— If prayer doesn’t work, kill yourself.
PS; Before you kill yourself, buy a bunch of shit to leave your loved ones. Try to rack up a million dollars of unsecured debt as your final “fuck you”.
Peace out ,I wrote a couple days ago about my uncle going to the VA.They had a backlog of people waiting so they sent him to a private hospital for a check up.They did a physical and blood work. Most of the
Tests were looking for cancer. They kept him about 6 hours. His total Bill was over 47,000 dollars.He couldn’t believe it .They did alot of different tests but was it worth 47000 dollars ?Good news is the VA paid the bill and he has no signs of cancer.
The White House never had my trust to begin with. How can you trust a bunch of crooks that lie about practically everything under the sun?
Anyone that would trust these arrogant pricks deserves to be impoverished.
I will be busy most of the day trying to assemble my Ikea shelving units (3 of them).
But Obamacare is going to Africa …… 3,000 troops will be sent to Liberia …. the construction of as many as 17 Ebola treatment centers in the region, …… the American government will also provide 400,000 Ebola home health and treatment kits to Liberia …… and tens of thousands of kits intended to test whether people have the disease. It will cost several millions of buckeroos.
How many American soldiers will be infected in this shithole?

They insured a measly 6 million people, plus a whole bunch (as of yet unreported) additions to medicaid.
Here’s some O’care facts.
1. More people lost coverage they have been paying for, than have enrolled.
2. The costs for small businesses have exploded, many are one or two rate increases away from canceling the policy for everyone.
3. O’care and its associated paperwork has cost my small company (6 employees, 2 part time) more than 30 hours in assorted bullshit waste of time stuff for a product we already had, and were happy with.
4. O’care canceled the policy they let us keep (but changed for the worse), and our new policy now costs more to insure my family (of 3), than we were paying for the entire company. (there goes making the part time clerk full time)
5. The #1 enroller/insurer of O’care policies in Minnesota announced they were yanking from the market. My old insurer did the same thing which is another reason we have to change our policy (and pay much more).
6. We are fubar, and O’care is yet another nail in our proverbial coffin.
Couple it with Ebola and it is the end of the American middle class.
With $7-10,000 deductibles on top of the ever increasing thousands in insurance costs a year, ebola running through a family on a bronze policy would/could bankrupt them.
What a cluster, what a perfect storm, what a planned disaster designed to force us into the one world order.
So in October of 2013 my health insurance went up 19%. Today we are informed that next month our insurance will go up another 29%. That’s a 48% increase in 1 year.
FUCK YOU OBAMA,PELOSI and the rest of the FUCKING DEMOCRATS.
This is what happens when lobbyists for big insurance write legislation…thousands of pages of loopholes, profit schemes and pork.
@Buckhed, in August 2013 we were paying $1100 a month for 5 people (including 1 child). By Jan 1 it had increased to $1300. Our new policy – that covers less – is going for $1900 starting Oct 1.
We used to have small co-pays (80/20 for lab, $30 for doc) and small deductibles. Our deductible went from $3500 to $6500 per PERSON AND will not PAY A DIME until you hit the $6500 deductible.
Insanity. And cannot last.
