Chairman Fitzgerald Opening Statement - Judiciary Subcommittee Hearing on Obamacare Subsidy Fraud

Published | Video Starts at 03:23

GAO found that in 2023 there were over 7,000 instances of an already deceased person enrolling in a subsidized health insurance plan. The GAO has also found in 2023 there were over 19,000 instances of a dead person's Social Security number being used to enroll a living person in a subsidized health insurance. In total for just one year, the GAO found two $21 billion in unreconciled subsidies. And that number only includes citizens using Social Security numbers. It doesn't include non citizens who receive subsidized care. (03:23–03:36)
