Anesthesia Management: 2 million Obamacre enrollees have data problems

About 2.2 million people, or more than one in every four Americans who signed up for private health coverage under President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform law, have inconsistent data in their applications that could lead to them losing coverage in isolated cases, officials said. Republicans, who have made the law known as Obamacare a top issue for November’s midterm congressional elections, pounced on the disclosure as fresh evidence that it poses an unworkable burden for Americans. But officials denied that the data issues rise to the level of problem enrollments, saying consumers in many cases included data on income, citizenship and immigration that is more up to date than federal records show.
