Not Qualified For Obamacare's Subsidies? Just Lie -- Govt. To Use 'Honor System' Without Verifying Your Eligibility

If you thought the delay in the employer mandate was bad news for Obamacare, just wait. On Friday, Sarah Kliff and Sandhya Somashekhar of the Washington Post discovered that the Obama administration had buried in theFederal Register the announcement that the government won’t be able to verify whether or not applicants for Obamacare’s insurance exchange subsidies are actually qualified for the aid, in the 16 states that are setting up their own exchanges. Instead, until at least 2015, these states will be able to “accept the applicant’s attestation [regarding eligibility] without further verification.”

this is just a set-up for selctive prosecution.

sure theyll use the honor system, but something will come up that will need a small investigation...nothing harmless of course (or so theyll tell you). then you can be locked up for fraud and fined big bucks.

Isn't this the same way illegals get section 8, food stamps, etc? Isn't this the same way some people get disability payments without being disabled? Nothing new here.
