If you ever wondered what happens when you combine government incompetence with ideological delusion and stir vigorously for a decade, wonder no more — Obamacare is the answer.
It’s the motivational poster you’d hang in Hell’s HR Department. The Democrats told us this system would be airtight, efficient, equitable, modern, and affordable. Instead, it turned into a spiritual successor to the Nigerian prince scam — only this time, the prince is Kenyan and ran the Department of Health and Human Services.
And the latest numbers don’t just prove the system is broken. They prove it never wasn’t broken. Because you have to build something intentionally stupid to lose track of $21 billion — with a “B” — in healthcare subsidies. This isn’t dropping your car keys. This is dropping the car, the garage, the driveway, and the entire neighborhood… and still insisting it’s “within 1% margin of error.”
The media, naturally, is reporting this like it’s a glitch. A hiccup. A “whoopsie.” But this isn’t a hiccup. This is a full-body seizure powered by an army of imaginary people, duplicate Social Security numbers, dead enrollees, fake identities, and God knows how many Somalis living the welfare jackpot lifestyle in Rep. Ilhan Omar’s sanctuary-for-fraud state of Minnesota.
And if you think that’s an exaggeration, keep reading — because the Government Accountability Office just ran the most damning undercover sting since To Catch a Predator, except the predators this time were bureaucrats, not creepy middle-aged men in cargo shorts.
The Somali Connection: Minnesota’s Olympic-Level Fraud Culture
Let’s begin where the smell started: Minnesota. As we learned earlier this year, Governor Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar have turned their state into America’s first fully operational welfare laundromat. A $8 billion Somali-run welfare scam didn’t simply “happen.” It wasn’t a bake sale gone wrong. It was a coordinated defrauding of the taxpayers that made “Free Food for Kids” the most lucrative export in the state — right behind passive-aggressive politeness.
And just when you think the Democrats couldn’t be more shameless, Obama — the man who gifted us Obamacare — essentially said, “Hold my IPA craft beer.” Because the Obamacare fraud makes Minnesota’s Somali heist look like a lemonade stand that short-changes quarters.
Welcome to Obama’s Healthcare Utopia: Real People Optional
The GAO decided to test the system. Not with complicated hacking, espionage, or some Mission Impossible laser grid scenario. No — they simply created 20 fake people.
These individuals existed only on paper. They had no birth certificates, no Social Security numbers, no proof of income, no documentation whatsoever. They were as real as Bigfoot’s tax returns.
Now for the rest of the story.
18 of the 20 were immediately approved for subsidized coverage. As in: “Yes, imaginary person, here’s your taxpayer-funded insurance. We trust you.” Even better, they’re still enrolled.
The government is currently spending over $10,000 per month on people who don’t exist. Consider how hard it is to get out of an AT&T contract? Meanwhile, fake humans glide through the Obamacare marketplace like VIPs.
When the GAO wrote in its report that the enrollees “did not provide documentation yet received coverage,” it wasn’t a confession — it was a eulogy. A eulogy for common sense, oversight, and anything resembling adult supervision.
You can read the GAO’s polite government-speak disaster declaration here:
No SSN? No Proof? No Pulse? No Problem.
The Democrats designed Obamacare like a bar at last call — if you can fog a mirror, you’re in. Actually, scrap that — the mirror is optional too.
The system approved:
People with no Social Security numbers
People with no citizenship documentation
People with no income verification
And if that sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the exact same eligibility policy the Democrats use for illegal immigrants, dead Democrats on voter rolls, and donors to ActBlue.
But here’s where it becomes truly spectacular. In the real world — where human beings are supposed to exist — the Obamacare marketplace enrolled:
29,000 Social Security numbers used multiple times in 2023
68,000 Social Security numbers used multiple times in 2024
That is a 134% increase in duplicate SSNs in one year. If a bank saw numbers like that, they’d shut down the branch, fire the manager, and launch an FBI investigation. Democrats, on the other hand, shrug and say “less than 1% fraud.”
That number — that magical “less than 1%” — is the Left’s favorite fantasy. It’s their unicorn. Their Loch Ness Monster. Their belief that Chicago voting machines are on the level. But nothing exposes the lie better than this next fact:
$94 million in Obamacare payments went to dead people in 2023.
Not recently dead. Not “maybe they died last week.” No — these were thoroughly dead people. Funerals held. Death certificates filed. Flowers wilted.
And yet, Democrats were sending them healthcare subsidies like a twisted government séance.
You know what happens in the private sector when a company sends payments to dead people? They call it “money laundering.” When the government does it, they call it “affordable care.”
Now the Big One: $21 Billion in Subsidies That Cannot Be Traced
This is the moment you realize the Democrats didn’t build an insurance marketplace — they built a ghost orchard and planted it with taxpayer fruit.
In 2023 alone, the GAO attempted to match subsidy payouts to actual Social Security numbers. A basic task. Something a middle school Excel class could do during lunch. They couldn’t account for $21 billion.
It was simply unmatchable — a financial Bermuda Triangle. No one knows where it went, who received it, or whether any of it reached a human being. The money just drifted into the ether, like a Democrat’s promise to balance the budget.
The official explanation? “The system allows multiple enrollments per Social Security number to help ensure access in cases of identity theft or data entry errors.”
That’s government-speak for:
“We created loopholes so big that cartels, scammers, aliens from Alpha Centauri, and Somali welfare syndicates could drive a bus through them.”
This isn’t negligence, it’s design.
Why Democrats Don’t Want the Subsidies to Expire
The enhanced COVID subsidies — which were supposed to end December 31 — cost $30 billion per year. A normal government would look at the GAO’s findings and say, “Shut this down immediately.” But Democrats? They say, “Roll it forward!”
Why? Because when your voter base includes:
Illegals
Non-citizens
Fake citizens
Duplicate SSNs
Dead voters
Entirely fictional people
…you need massive government programs that blur the line between “eligible” and “made-up.” Obamacare is the perfect sanctuary program for manufactured Democrat beneficiaries.
Democrats claim:
24 million people rely on Obamacare
Over 90% receive subsidies
Ending subsidies will cause premiums to spike overnight
22 million could lose coverage
But nobody is asking the obvious conservative question: How many of these “people” actually exist?
If the GAO can create 18 imaginary enrollees with no pushback, you better believe that cartels, fraudsters, and foreign nationals have turned this system into their personal piggy bank.
Doing the Math Democrats Hope You Never Do
Democrats swear fraud is “under 1%.” They’d have better luck convincing us Joe Biden bench-presses 315.
Let’s test their claim.
If the system manages $30 billion in annual subsidies, and $21 billion is untraceable then simple math explains that fraud is not “1%.” Instead, fraud is the program’s love language.
No system accidentally misplaces two-thirds of its money. This is the kind of accounting error you see in mafia-controlled nightclubs, not federal healthcare programs.
So why would any senator vote to extend a program that can’t distinguish between a taxpaying American and a fictional character invented by the GAO?
Simple:
Democrats don’t care who receives the money — as long as the money flows. It’s not healthcare. It’s not compassion. It’s an ATM for the Left’s political machine, feeding their donors, their NGOs, their ballot-harvesting networks, their community “outreach groups,” and their sanctuary cities.
Obamacare stopped being a healthcare program years ago. It became a shadow-funding pipeline.
President Trump Steps In
Thankfully, we now have a president who doesn’t just shut down corruption — he bulldozes the entire neighborhood. President Donald J. Trump understands what Democrats refuse to admit: you cannot run a country when half your programs are designed like a GoFundMe for ghosts.
A government that funds imaginary people can never serve real citizens.
Trump’s administration is not only exposing the fraud — it’s dismantling the machinery that allows it to flourish. And the Democrats are terrified because they know the gravy train is slowing, the fake accounts are being flagged, and the era of “free money for nobody” is ending.
Meanwhile… Somewhere in America…
Right now, at this very moment, in some dusty corner of the Obamacare database, an entirely imaginary human being — a digital ghost with no Social Security number, no birth certificate, and no pulse — just had their subsidized premium renewed for 2026.
And the Democrats will tell you with a straight face that fraud is under 1%.
If you listen hard enough, you can hear Ilhan Omar laughing in Somaliapolis.
