About one in four people who signed up for health coverage on the government-run exchanges of Obamacare have “inconsistencies” in their information, the administration says. That’s more than 2 million people.

The bureaucracy in charge of mess tried to be reassuring:

“ ‘The fact that a consumer has an inconsistency on their application does not mean there is a problem on their enrollment,’ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) spokeswoman Julie Bataille told the AP.

“ ‘Most of the time what that means is that there is more up-to-date information that they need to provide to us.’”

But, reports The Hill, “the inconsistencies point to the possibility that many enrollees obtained coverage or subsidies without being eligible.”

As the Associated Press put it, “Someone who underestimated his income, and got too generous a subsidy as a result, could owe the Internal Revenue Service money next year.”

“Administration officials expressed confidence that most of the discrepancies can be resolved over the summer. Nonetheless, the department has set up a system to ‘turn off’ benefits for anyone who is found to be ineligible.”

“(Bataille) said many of the discrepancies appear to be due to outdated information in government files — and the ‘vast majority’ of cases are being resolved in favor of consumers. The government is making an all-out effort to reach those with various discrepancies, which officials have termed ‘inconsistencies.’”

How reassuring. The government that totally botched its enrollment system last fall, couldn’t fix it for months, that even now is running a 25% error rate in its exchange sign-up system, and is headed by a president who lied about how you could keep your insurance – that government now assures you that if there are “inconsistencies,” it will probably be resolved in time and you probably won’t see the benefits that you were forced to buy through its dysfunctional exchange somehow “turned off.” Probably.

About all this administration is competent at is issuing orders.
