Spot on, however modestly you've presented yourself.
Total dollar fraud by individuals applying for a rate credit they don't qualify for will be dwarfed by the fraud dollar amount created by clever, unscrupulous medical providers.
Note: Rick Scott, FTR, is the governor of Florida, who was famous prior to that mostly for getting rich as the head of a hospital consortium... perhaps not the most unbiased source for objective review of the ACA program.
Judging by the frequency with which the courts around here have a "Tampering With Gov't Records" case before them, I would venture a guess this sort of lie for profit is universally problematic for assistance programs.
This is the typical charge for obtaining gov't assistance under many different false pretenses, but typically under-reporting income.
I, for one, would prefer to keep the trust but verify nature of the programs... the aim is not to catch fraudsters straight away, but to help folks when they need it. Sure, some will game the system, but likely not for an extended period before getting caught with the hand in the cookie jar.
I like to believe the tech companies are made up of people like the ones from Slashdot who are tired of the clammy-handed government overreach.
Of course, I recognize the convenience of my belief system; as, if there are no corporations on the side of privacy in a Corporatocracy, we are truly SOL.
Impossible or not, is it a private company's (or individual's) duty to engage in the evidence-gathering duties of law enforcement?
I'm not sure the judicial conviction of this one suspect is worth granting law enforcement the unfettered ability to deputize anyone, any time it's convenient.
Come on now. Sensibly, if you're going to be protectionist at all (ever), wouldn't it make a tiny bit of sense to keep your domestic intelligentsia engaged in active study and gainful employment?
"The IMEI number is used by a GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used for stopping a stolen phone from accessing that network. For example, if a mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call his or her network provider and instruct them to "blacklist" the phone using its IMEI number. This renders the phone useless on that network and sometimes other networks too, whether or not the phone's SIM is changed."
It seems unlikely a unique identifier is unavailable to the powers that be.

Often, it seems what they really need is an informed third party to assist them in whittling down their options to a manageable choice threshold.
Looking at you America: 30 types of jam, 60 fragrances of febreze, and still two political parties... See? They're keeping it simple for us.
The role(s) played by bacteria in the ecosystem that is a mammalian body are even now not completely understood...
and microorganisms show a valiant ability to evolve around attempts to exterminate them.
Any show that taught science to the masses through a clever delivery venue would be missed dearly,
but these folks really delivered, often in an entertaining enough fashion that people might forget they were learning something, too.
Do you suppose anyone's left employed in public relations at the NSA?

Yawn...The family monetizes its 15 minutes of fame.

Tomorrow morning, I am spitting coffee on the keyboard of yesterday while rereading your clever post.
a radio knob can be located in the dark of night on an unfamiliar interstate, on virtual autopilot, drinking truck stop coffee while needing to pee.
the whole off world colony conundrum might be on its way to settled.

i mean it sucks and all, but why should we be on the hook for this???
Wells, we did drop four hydrogen bombs during a plane wreck....
Based on the evidence, it is more probable than not that (Cpt) America was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities.
It takes a while to work out all the bugs during the incipient stage.
I just always figured the wealthy are covering the R & D expenses in exchange for the Look what I got! conversation starter;
so that, in the future, these become within the realm of affordable for us mere mortals.

I haven't been paying attention to the world news lately.
Sort of like watching the soap operas, eh? you can miss a few episodes , tune in, and still understand the gist of it.
What now with Russia and USA? Another cold war?
Let's hope. A hot war is ever so much more involving personal sacrifice and inconvenience.
"Plenty of civilised people both in the US and elsewhere had decided that slavery was morally unacceptable by that stage in history."
I suspect that is as late as you'd want to post to get an instantaneous upmod with a marginal opinion. I'll have my eye on you.
Better to use the technology for good, than for evil.
Best to use the technology for X under the guise of good in a morality-based rating system.

they'd have to start digging through my stuff
Which, as I understand things, is a deal breaker with most national telcos.
Not sure if they have my IMEI registered in the first place.
Of course not... then they could pwn you and your freedom loving cellphone.
alas, they can't afford pay attention... let alone for therapy.
so at a minimum, playing a game for your job is a thing of the past.
Thank you for every barrier penetrated, every obstacle overcome, and every sacrifice made.
