Enrollment in California's healthcare program for the poor has soared as the state implements President Obama's federal overhaul, pleasing advocates who have sought expanded coverage but also presenting new costs for the state -- a total of $1.2 billion more than originally thought.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Worthy News)-- Less than one percent, or 330,000, of the 2.9 million cases which had data discrepancies when signing up for Obamacare have been fixed, potentially jeopardizing health care for millions who signed up under the Affordable Care Act, the government's health care fraud watchdog said.
The Health and Human Services inspector general said the administration was not able to resolve 2.6 million so-called "inconsistencies" out of a total of 2.9 million such problems in the federal insurance exchange from October through December 2013.
Of the roughly 330,000 cases that could be straightened out, the administration had only actually resolved about 10,000 during the period of the inspector general's audit. That worked out to less than 1 percent of the total. -- Source

poorly written--330,000 is over 10% of 2.9 million.
The "less than 1%" is in reference to the 330,000 cases with issues that they believe could be fixed, yet the inspector general determined out of those 330k, less than 10,000 had been actually corrected.
It is typical government double speak and obfuscation--hence the confusion: 2.9 million total enrollees had issues....2.6 million of those people can't be resolved at all...and of the 330k that could be fixed, less than 10k were actually corrected--government efficiency at its purest form ( less than 1% efficiency- as they admit, yet really it is 1 out of every 2,900 "inconsistencies" overall that they have fixed a whopping .0034% efficiency.)
