“A GAO audit found Obamacare's subsidy system is so riddled with loopholes that nearly all of GAO's fictitious identities were approved for taxpayer-funded health plans.”
Where they said it
Verdict
True
2025-12-16Reasoning
The cited GAO audit confirms that in undercover testing, fictitious applicants were enrolled in subsidized ACA marketplace coverage and most were re-enrolled the following year, consistent with Thune's characterization. The audit's scope is small and does not measure the real-world prevalence of fraud across all enrollees, but the specific claim about GAO's test is accurate.
