Obamacare and Identity Theft

My general thought on Obamacare is that illegal workers needed a job to get healthcare in your name before, now with your credentials they can just go online and get it without needing a job. If they work for cash... they can now just go online and get healthcare without having to bother to report to work somewhere or apply for a job.

Along that line, if someone qualifies for a subsidy and gets healthcare using your identity, whom do you think the IRS will ask to pay that back when it turns out you don't qualify for the subsidy when you file your own, accurate tax return?

A few links from around the web with some relevant excerpts:
How Obamacare Makes Theft Of Your Identity More Likely
"Stealing a medical identity is more lucrative than other kinds of identity theft."

This article relates most directly to what I've said and have been thinking

"The risks of potential identity theft are very real, and 13 attorneys general have expressed deep concerns about the security of the exchanges’ information."
