Earlier this month (Decemeber 2025) the Government Accountability Office announced the results of a test it had launched back in 2024, when Joe Biden was president.
The federal watchdog created fake consumers and applied for Obamacare plans in their names.
Almost all the fictitious applicants were able to enroll — and all who did qualified for federal subsidies.
In other words, they got the green light to steal from taxpayers.
This is a massive indictment of Obamacare — and of the Democrats who defend it at every turn.
This year, taxpayers will fork over $148 billion to cover premiums for more than 22 million people.
How many of those people aren’t even real?
How many are getting more money than they should because they falsified their application data?
Just how rampant is fraud in our federal benefits and welfare systems — fraud that the federal government clearly isn’t doing enough to identify, much less fight?
The deeper you dig, the worse Democrats look.
When Barack Obama was president, the same federal watchdog found that nonexistent people routinely got coverage and subsidies.
In 2016, Obama’s final year, his administration still hadn’t designed basic eligibility safeguards for the health-care system he called his greatest achievement.
Biden made the fraud crisis worse when he worked with Democrats in Congress to temporarily expand Obamacare subsidies, creating an even greater incentive to steal from taxpayers.
The IRS has found that 60% of those getting Biden’s bigger subsidies misreported their incomes to boost their benefits.
What’s more, insurance brokers signed up huge numbers of people without their knowledge, getting a $1,000 commission for each family they enrolled.
In November, a jury convicted one insurance broker over his company’s $233 million Obamacare-fraud scheme.
Democrats could hardly have encouraged more fraud if they tried.
At this point, it’s worth asking: Is Obamacare about health coverage, or is it just a cover for those stealing from taxpayers?
