As we've noted previously, the Marketplace seems to have a problem keeping out the riff-raff:
"[F]ederal watchdog office did set up 10 phony insurance coverage accounts with no pushback from those overseeing the applications."
That was a year ago, and we're happy to report that there's been a 50% improvement in those numbers:
"Investigators got coverage approval for 15 out of 15 fake people this year"
Okay, I suppose that depends on one's definition of "improvement."
The GAO was apparently unable to make premium payments for three of these "people," which I suppose is reason for celebration, although where those funds would have come from (and where they did originate for the 80% of those who successfully ponied up) remains a mystery.
On the gripping hand, I am pleased to report that none of these "insureds" racked up more than $10,000 in medical expenses.
That we're aware of.
