Sure, It’s All Legit. Trust Us.
One of the main boondoggle giveaways in features of the P!ss-Poor Abysmally-Crafted Abomination Patient Protection and “Affordable” Care Act (PPACA) is the fact that it subsidizes the cost of insurance for many. In fact, that’s one of the main ways it will screw over US taxpayers help the “poor”.
So, no one would ever take advantage of that, right? No one would ever think of understating their income so that they’d qualify for “free help”, right?
Yeah, right. Uh huh. Sure. Whatever you say, amigo. Just like everyone who gets cash income always declares 100% of that cash income on their tax returns. And just like they always send Uncle Sam their FICA and Medicare taxes from said cash income, too.
Of course this is going to be abused like hell. In fact, it already is being abused.
And the “kicker”? Some PPACA “Navigators” are advising people to do exactly that.
Yeah, folks – you read that correctly. We (US taxpayers) are actually paying people to tell people how to defraud Uncle Sam.
Don’t believe me? Then watch this video clip. And afterwards, watch this one, too. And then you can read this article. (You might want to have a barf bag handy, though.)
Sheesh.
Dunno about you, but I’m getting damned tired of seeing my tax dollars siphoned off by blatant fraud like this. And I’m royally p!ssed that the Federal government is actually paying people to help low-life a-holes certain individuals perpetrate that fraud.

PPACA navigators = ACORN = OFA = MoveOn = PP = etc. etc. etc. It’s all basically the same gang of obamaoists operating under different monikers and mooching/proselytizing off of our tax money…
“Obamaoists” Stealing that….
No Way, you mean that a program like SNAP ( which Increased by 15,000,000 recipients under Obama) would be taken advantage of by shiftless folks who will be talked through qualification (wink wink) procedures by Government employees?
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.”- Alexander Tyler
This is EXACTLY what’s happening in this country. Greed seems to reign.
I watched about 45 seconds of it and had to stop the video.
I am not surprised by it. It is not really new.
But it is enough to make your blood boil.
and you KNOW Holder and the Justice Department will get right on that!!!
The more I learn about the ACA and the more I hear from the people who crafted it, the more I’m convinced it’s as much a big chip on the shoulder as anything else.
Well, nothing new here except the scale of the corruption. Yes, federal and state employees have been instructing applicants for various subsidies for decades exactly how to game the system. It’s called job security.
Had the opportunity to sit in on an official unemployment briefing a few years ago for a company when it closed and heard it with my own ears. It was horrendous. And turned out to be common practice.
Ah, but wait!!! There’s more than just defrauding the taxpayers to this story!
The scum professional of the insurance industry have leaped right into the gap of knowledge involving the uneducated uninsured and likewise uninformed po’ folks with bad, false, plain old lying about what obamacare consists of and what they do and/or don’t need. It gets better and better with every news story.
Read this and weep even more: http://news.msn.com/us/insurers-using-obamacare-confusion-to-sell-junk-plans
I’m tellin’ you, it’s probably going to be the nastiest mess any administration has ever seen, because the coyotes are watching the hen house and salivating.
Perhaps ‘probably’ is too mild a word to use for this.
You think Medicare/welfare/food stamp fraud was rampant?
Ya’ll ain’t seen shit yet.
What’s next, when the politicos can’t buy the teeming hordes off with free food, phones and health care? Circuses?
@11. When they can’t be bought off, it won’t be a circus, it’ll be a Civil War, Part II. That fiasco with the EBT cards a few weeks ago that was all but overlooked by BIG MEDIA is a good indicator of what to expect.
AirCav, you’re right. When the spigot runs dry, what happens ain’t gonna be pretty. I told my 6, I feel bad for my grand daughters. What they’re going to inherit is not going to be good.
Fortunately, their dads have taught them to shoot and they have guns and plenty of ammo, and a place to go to get away from what’s coming.
USHealth has always been a scumbag organization. They got closed out in California because of lawsuits that essentially bankrupted their CA division.
They bought out a company I worked for. I quit a few weeks later because the people they brought in to be the new managment were bottom of the barrel scumbags.
I had some pretty hard times from Aug of 2012 to Jan of 2013 When I was waiting to get my Social Security And VA pension and I had to go on SNAP. This was after I spent 18 months cashing out savings, 401K, using up my Disability Insurance and hitting my family up for loans. Pretty much every bill I had was 6 months behind and I was scrapping and begging the IRS and State to not garnish my military retirement ( which barely covered my rent and electricity).
I applied for and got SNAP over the phone with very little documentation. When I got my pension settlements I notified them both in writing and over the phone that I didnt need it anymore. It took me 6 months to get them to stop loading up money on that SNAP account( even though I had cut the card up. They basically wanted written proof that I DIDN’T need it.
