Lie—and you’ll get healthcare subsidy: “for the first year of operations, we are providing [state health insurance] Exchanges with temporarily expanded discretion to accept an ‘attestation’ of projected annual household income—without further verification”…“deliberately encouraging tens of billions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse in order to achieve a political objective is profoundly immoral.
