Agents able to get Obamacare subsidies using fake IDs
CBS/AP July 23, 2014, 9:38 AM
WASHINGTON -- Undercover investigators using fake identities were able to secure taxpayer-subsidized health insurance under President Barack Obama's health care law.
The weak link in the system seemed to be call centers that handled applications for thousands of consumers unable to get through online.
The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office was to tell a House committee on Wednesday that its investigators were able to get subsidized health care under fake names in 11 out of 18 attempts.
The GAO is still paying premiums for the policies, even as the Obama administration attempts to verify phony documentation. Those additional checks appeared to need tightening; the GAO said parts of the fake documentation it submitted for two applications actually got verified.
