Shocker: pretty much anybody can scam #obamacare.

Mind you, this isn’t a bug.

An undercover operation found that the majority of fake Obamacare applications submitted were approved by the health law’s enrollment system.

Fake applicants were able to get subsidized insurance coverage in 11 of 18 attempts, according to a report from the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office. The agency conducted the sting operation to test the strength of the Affordable Care Act’s eligibility-verification system.

The findings will be discussed at a House Ways and Means hearing Wednesday. They were revealed in an advance copy of the testimony from Seto Bagdoyan, head of GAO’s Forensic Audits and Investigative Service, provided to the Associated Press.

More accurately, the administration hasn’t particularly acted as if this sort of thing was a bug. A scam still counted as a signup, after all: and the Obama administration was absolutely desperate to get signups, pretty much by any means necessary.  Note: I am not saying that the administration deliberately let people scam the system.  I am saying that keeping people from scamming the system was in no way a priority for anybody involved with Obamacare.

Not that one should expect the Democrats to be anything but cavalier with your tax money, of course.  Far too many of them are bitter about the fact that you technically had that money to be taxed in the first place.

Hey! #Obamacare hurts the poor, thanks to Medicaid. I know: shocker, huh?

Why Danielle Kimberly’s quality of life has been degraded:

As a proud new beneficiary of the Affordable Health Care Act, I’d like to report that I am doctorless. Ninety-six. Ninety-six is the number of soul crushing rejections that greeted me as I attempted to find one. It’s the number of physicians whose secretaries feigned empathy while rehearsing the “I’m so sorry” line before curtly hanging up. You see, when the rush of the formerly uninsured came knocking, doctors in my New Jersey town began closing their doors and promptly telling insurance companies that they had no room for new patients.

Why things will not get better for Ms. Kimberly:

I remain grateful for the Affordable Care Act…

No, no, NO. Also: why is she grateful for Obamacare? It hasn’t done a single thing for her!  And it won’t, because the Democrats don’t have to do anything for her!  She’ll thank them anyway! If she wants them to do something for her, then she should start saying things like I’m voting for the other guy in the next election.  They’ll listen to that, ya, you betcha.
