Sign Up for ObamaCare Over the Phone!    "Last month, the government announced that it wouldn't verify an individual's self-reported income for ObamaCare subsidies. Simply claim you qualify for a subsidy and you will receive that subsidy. Today, we learn, that you don't have to physically show up to claim coverage. You can sign up for coverage, and the subsequent subsidy, over the phone!"

UPDATE from The Comical Conservative
One comment to this post reminded us that those responsible for passing ObamaCare are on this list of groups exempted.
