In 2014 they were audited and found that 17% of people were getting subsidies well beyond what they actually should be getting. The audit produced 11 findings

MNsure ignored all but two of the findings. In 2015 a sample showed 38% of people were getting subsidies beyond what they should be getting.

Quote:State officials got worse last year assessing Minnesotans' eligibility for public health plans, and the problems cost the state an estimated $115 million to $271 million from January through May, Minnesota's legislative auditor said Thursday.

Taxpayers will have to shell out an estimated $18 billion more to subsidize Obamacare in 2016 despite lower than expected enrollment in the health care exchanges, according to a forecast by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

In its latest 10-year economic forecast, CBO predicted that 13 million Americans would purchase health insurance through the Obamacare exchanges in 2016, with 11 million of them receiving government subsidies to help pay for their premiums.

But that figure is 40 percent lower than the 21 million enrollees CBO predicted last year would sign up.

Despite fewer than expected enrollees, the cost of running the exchanges will increase $18 billion, according to the CBO’s Budget and Economic Outlook: 2016 to 2026.
