Yesterday Investors.com<\/a> posted an article about some of the basic problems in the administration of ObamaCare<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In a section titled “Other Issues,” an inspector general<\/a> report released last week found that the HealthCare.gov<\/a> marketplace couldn’t show it had been reconciling its monthly enrollment numbers with insurance companies<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s despite the fact that the law specifically calls for this reconciliation, and the fact that, as the IG report notes<\/a>, “the federal marketplace obtained the services of a contractor to reconcile enrollment information.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama<\/a> administration officials “stated that the system to support reconciliations had yet to be developed.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

But as the IG makes clear, without this monthly reconciliation, the government “cannot effectively monitor the current enrollment status of applicants, such as … termination of plans.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article also reports:<\/p>\n

Aetna<\/a> says that out of 720,000 sign-ups, only about 580,000 were paid up by May 20, a payment rate of only 80.6%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s also unknown how many have failed to keep up with their payments after making the initial one \u2014 the law gives consumers a three-month grace period before insurers can cancel their coverage. But the number could be significant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Kaiser Family Foundation survey<\/a> found that 43% of those buying ObamaCare plans say they are having difficulty paying premiums, with 14% finding it “very difficult.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s despite the fact that 87% of those who bought one of these plans through HealthCare.gov got taxpayer subsidies<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is becoming obvious that ObamaCare is a disaster. We need to elect people in November who will practice free market principles–not crony capitalism<\/a>–in healthcare policies. We are in danger of having the best healthcare system in the world destroyed. The American voter will be responsible for whether or not that happens,.<\/p>\n
