FOXNews.com - Scam Artists Take Advantage of New Health Care Law: "Scam artists are taking advantage of the new health insurance law to peddle phony policies.
Health and Human Services Sec. Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday she is warning state officials about a proliferation of scams involving phony health insurance policies. Federal investigators are also on the lookout.
Some of the hustlers are going door to door claiming there's a limited open-enrollment period to buy health insurance now. But the big expansion of coverage won't come for another four years, and door-to-door salespeople are unlikely to be part of the plan then.
'Unfortunately, scam artists and criminals may be using the passage of these historic reforms as an opportunity to confuse and defraud the public,' Sebelius wrote in a letter to state insurance commissioners and attorneys general.
In the letter, released Tuesday, she urged vigorous prosecution of anyone caught selling fraudulent policies."
