Fraudulent Obamacare Applications Were Approved Almost Every Time: Speaker Johnson [WATCH]

House Speaker Mike Johnson cited a new Government Accountability Office report that found extensive vulnerabilities in the Affordable Care Act subsidy system, including approved fraudulent applications, misuse of social security numbers, and federal payments made on behalf of deceased individuals.

Johnson said the findings show the system cannot be extended without significant changes.

“A new report by the Government Accountability Office, which I haven’t seen too much written about yet, you should look into that. It is an eye opener as well. It makes clear why it would be a dereliction of duty to just extend subsidies without massive reforms to them,” Johnson said.

He detailed how investigators tested the system.

“Okay, over the last two years, this is investigators at the Government Accountability Office. Okay, they submitted 24 fraudulent applications for the ACA subsidies, the UN Affordable Care Act subsidies, Obamacare. Okay, of the 24 fraudulent fraudulent applications that they created intentionally to just see what would happen, 23 of them were approved,” he said.

According to Johnson, none of the required information was provided.

“These applications were completely fraudulent. The investigators did not submit any social security numbers, citizenship documentation or reported income documents, and 23 of the 24 applications were still approved,” he said.

Johnson noted that many of these applications remained active.

“18 of those, by the way, are still receiving coverages they weren’t as of September of this year. That means the Obamacare exchange and insurers didn’t verify any of the information they were supposed to under the law, and they proceeded to pay 10s of 1000s of dollars to insurance companies for people who do not exist,” he said.

He highlighted additional findings related to social security misuse.

“Okay, the GAO report also found that 29,000 social security numbers in 2023 and 68,000 in 2024 were used to receive more than one year’s worth of insurance coverage. In other words, multiple people were utilizing the same social security numbers to openly defraud the American taxpayers,” he said.

Johnson also pointed to improper payments made on behalf of individuals who had died.

“The GAO also found that more than 94 million was sent to insurers on behalf of dead people,” he said.

He concluded that the current system cannot be renewed without addressing the issues identified.

“Okay, this is the system that Democrats and Congress want to extend without reform. It is unbelievable,” Johnson said.
