HEALTHCARE.GOV APPROVES FAKE GAO APPLICANTS IN A STING!
The Government Accounting Office pulled a sting on the Obamacare Healthcare.gov site. In a test to see how good screening of applicants was, fake applications were submitted and followed up on. Fake copies of Social Security cards and driver’s licenses were submitted. Would you believe that 9 out of 12 got by?
As Written By Ali Meyer for Free Beacon:
Applications also approved for tax credit subsidies.
Healthcare.gov and its state marketplaces approved health care coverage and subsidies for nine fake applicants in another Government Accountability Office sting, according to a report from the agency.
The investigative agency created 12 fake identities and sought to obtain coverage for them during the special enrollment period.
“For all our fictitious applicant scenarios, we sought to act as an ordinary consumer would in attempting to make a successful application,” the investigative agency said. “For example, if, during online applications, we were directed to make phone calls to complete the process or to mail the application, we acted as instructed.”
The Affordable Care Act requires that the Marketplace validate application information to determine eligibility by checking Social Security numbers, citizenship or immigration status, and household income.
The 12 applications included fictitious copies of Social Security cards, driver’s licenses, and proof of income. Only three applications were denied, and six were asked for further documentation.
