Obamacare Fraud Report: Billions at Risk
Liberty Check
- The GAO’s fictitious applicants were granted exchange subsidies and maintained them for months without proper verification, costing over $10,000 monthly.
- Over $21 billion in subsidies were distributed in 2023 to enrollees who never reconciled their income with tax filings, raising accountability concerns.
- Tens of thousands of Social Security numbers recorded impossible insurance coverage timelines, and some even matched with federal death records, indicating serious identity fraud.
The latest Government Accountability Office findings reveal dangerous flaws and widespread abuse in Obamacare subsidies. Congress faces mounting pressure to reject any extension of enhanced subsidies as taxpayer money continues to flow to fraudulent recipients.
Auditors exposed that exchanges approved nearly all test applications using imaginary identities, echoing earlier years of the program. Systemic failures enabled fake enrollees to keep coverage and receive public funds, often without submitting required documentation.
“During the last plan year, we either were not requested to provide the federal Marketplace with documentation or generally did not provide what was requested, yet our four fictitious applicants received subsidized coverage for November and December 2024.”
“Coverage for 18 of 20 fictitious enrollees remained active,”
with monthly taxpayer subsidies paid out for non-existent policyholders.
Deliberate manipulation by brokers, unauthorized application changes, and lax government oversight compound the problem, while reforms remain slow and ineffective. Constitutional conservatives demand robust enforcement and transparency to defend the public trust and promote limited government.
Call your representatives and demand strict oversight of federal health care programs before more taxpayer money is lost to fraud. Stay alert and hold bureaucrats and leaders accountable for safeguarding your freedoms.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
