Gets eleven out of twelve fake applications through the website with confirmed policies. All policies are to be verified for eligibility by Social Security Number, citizenship and household income before issuance.

Oops. That's eleven in a sting. How many fraudulent applications are we paying for?

The whole thing was designed to fail from the beginning. This just helps that along.

Brilliant philosophy. How about if we kill all the people, then we don't have to worry about people's needs. Done and done. Easy fix.

You do know that article was from 2014?

Did you really just find out about this article today?

Well, there's an explanation. The news article I originally found WAS current, talking about nine applications. When I googled to substantiate, I saw the older one I referenced and didn't see the old date.
 
So the story here is that the government was able to find a weak spot so that they are able to fix it?

Seems like a good thing.

Then lets get rid of the people and we don't have to worry about securing rights. It's so simple.
 
Good thing we're getting rid of it and replacing it with nothing then.

Or...we could just follow the Constitution. After all, securing people's right is what that document is all about. Plus, then we won't HAVE to get rid of anybody.
