subsidy (2)

More than one million Americans may be receiving the wrong Obamacare subsidies and the government has not been able to solve the issue yet — meaning people who inadvertently got too much money could face crippling tax bills in upcoming years.

According to internal documents and people familiar with the situation, Americans who listed incomes on their insurance applications that differ significantly with what is on file with the Internal Revenue Service are likely receiving too much money, reports The Washington Post.


"I have this sick feeling that there are these people out there who have made unintentional errors, and in a few years will be subject to massive tax bills,” said Jessica Waltman, senior vice president for government affairs at the National Association of Health Underwriters, a lobbying group for health insurance brokers.

Normally, customers are notified if there is a problem with their applications and told to upload or mail in their proof of income. But only a few have done that, say IRS documents, and even for those who have, the federal computer system for the marketplace isn't able to match the proof with the application because the capability to do that hasn't been built.

The unprocessed documents are being stored at federal contractor Serco's Kentucky office as the improper subsidies keep being paid, and under current rules, people who get the subsidies will be required to return the extra money next year.

Federal health officials and Serco, facing pressure from the White House, are starting this weekend to resolve the inconsistencies. Serco, however, is facing its own issues, with dozens of workers complaining this past week that they're sitting idle,  playing games, or looking busy punching a computer button every 10 minutes because they're not being given enough work to fill their days.

The subsidy issue is one of the computer problems that have been going on since the Obamacare marketplace website, HealthCare.gov, floundered when it was launched last October. 

And although contractors have corrected many of the problems that made it difficult for Americans to choose a health plan, many parts of the website are still defective or not finished.  

Since the operational system isn't complete, it is impossible for federal officials to know how many of the 8 million people who have signed up for healthcare coverage have paid their premiums, or how many enrollments were attempted but never completed.

Members of the Obama administration, however, promised congressional Republicans last year that an income-verification system would be in place.

Since the computer system isn't capable of doing the income comparisons, Serco workers will have to do the work by hand. But at first, sources told The Post, the work will focus on the approximately one million cases in which people enrolled or tried to enroll faced questions about their citizenship status.

Immigration documents, like the income information, are also caught in the backlog, meaning that sorting out the income issue and the improper subsidies will not start until summer, likely causing recipients to receive even higher tax repayment bills next year.

An average Dec. 2012 BLS wage adjusted from 34.4 hours to 40/hr with 30% employer taxes etc, is $64,300.   It’s the average employer’s annual employee productivity cost.   If jobless citizens receive $36,546 subsidies equal to illegal aliens ($402 billion/11 million), individual unemployment costs $100,845!

 

Government’s $36,546 alien invader subsidy increases jobless costs to $137,391 when citizens lose jobs to subsidized aliens! (Government numbers & basic math!)

BLS 12-2012 shows 12.5 million unemployed, 6.4 million looking for work, plus another 6.9 million who “disappeared” from the work force based on 1997-2008 12/yr average “population/workforce” ratios.   That totals 25.8 million jobless citizens!   The BLS 34.4 hour week vs. 40/hrs @ 155.0 million workers says part time joblessness equals 25.2 million jobs lost to part time work trends (16.28%)!     Potential joblessness is 51 million (33%)!   A government that pays and protects 11(?) million alien invaders and begs for more during extreme recession is defying and mocking Constitution, law, and citizens!

 

Simultaneously we have 11 to 30 million tax evading criminal aliens working for tax evading criminals who pay $12,480/yr tax free cash ($8 taxable is $6 cash).    Because criminal tax evading employers pay $12,480 for $64,300 worth of productivity, they take $51,820 windfall criminal profits!   A very slight amount of that windfall is more than enough to drive competitors and legitimate workers out of business!    Government protects criminal employers who flood the free labor market with workers, destroy wage competition, bankrupt business competition, drive wages below minimum wage, loot tax revenue, loot taxpayer benefit funds, and keep $51,820 per invader spoils!    That’s evil, not patriotism!

 

Because lawless executive-legislative officers protect and give alien invaders $36,546 in subsidies, invaders take home tax free $49,025 @40hr/wk ($47,278 @BLS 34.4hr/wk)!   Law abiding citizens take home $37,096 @ 40hr/wk ($31,903 @BLS 34.4hr/wk) after 25% tax!   Lawful citizen's $31,903 take-home is $15,375 less than government subsidized criminal invaders and $4,642 less than government’s tax-free $36,545 criminal alien subsidies!   Government is clearly creating severe productivity penalties simultaneously with extreme subsidy dependency!     Because increasing geometric demand for subsidies will be opposite the decreasing geometric productivity ability to pay for it, financial collapse is near!

 

Read it again – you can’t find a more demonic cancer that has divided, demonized, and desecrated every tradition and foundation of our once highly productive free Constitutional society!   Destruction to citizen productivity and independence is incalculable!  Government subsidized criminal aliens taking citizen jobs costs $137,391 each!  It’s $1.5 trillion/yr @11 million to $2.7 trillion/yr @ 20 million displaced citizens!    This doesn't include highly significant costs of aliens legally permitted to displace cirizens!

 

The amnesty-border issue is about lawless subversive control of government by defiance and mocking of oath and duty of office by executive-legislative officials.   Officials like Rubio, who adamantly state they can’t enforce the law and constitution, must either resign or be prosecuted for obstructing justice.    Citizens must elect officials who take their 24/7 oath and duty seriously… and recall and prosecute those who mock it!
