"The government may be paying incorrect subsidies to more than 1 million
Americans for their health plans in the new federal insurance
marketplace and has been unable so far to fix the errors, according to
internal documents and three people familiar with the situation.
Under White House pressure, federal health officials and the contractor,
Serco, are this weekend beginning to step up efforts at resolving a
variety of inconsistencies that have appeared in applications, including
income discrepancies." [Washington Post]
Ah.... but don't worry.... the guvmint is now REALLY going to fix something ..... fear not... they will get to fixing this just as soon as they take care of a MORE IMPORTANT problem..... immigrants who have not been able to sign up! [clipper]
"Because the computer capability does not yet exist, the work will start
by hand, according to two people familiar with the plans. It will focus
at first not on income questions, but on another roughly 1 million cases
in which people enrolled — or tried to enroll — in health plans and ran
into questions about their citizenship status. [emphasis added]
The work of sorting out inaccurate incomes — and inaccurate subsidies,
as a result — will likely begin sometime this summer, two individuals
familiar with the plans said. "
