On the GAO fraud in the ACA report:
“Yeah, Rob, I think the bigger the price tag, the faster the dollars are going out, the more fraud there’s going to be, so Obamacare, it’s now swollen to $150 billion a year, $150 billion a year going to big insurance companies. We think that within there is 25 to $35 billion of fraud. Where do I come up with that number? A third of the people on Obamacare have never filed a claim with their insurance company. Does that make sense? A third of the people on Obamacare never filed a claim. We think most of these people are ghosts. They’re phantoms. They don’t really exist, or they don’t know that they’re in Obamacare.
“You mentioned 58,000 dead people stayed on Obamacare for an average of nine months. So the federal government was sending subsidies to these insurance companies every, every month, for seven, for nine months, for 58,000 people. So there’s lots of fraud there, and we’re doing everything we can to expose that, and now dropping a bill today to stop the nonsense.”
On Democrats willing to address the fraud:
“One of the solutions in my bill was requiring everybody who’s in Obamacare to spend at least $5 A month of their own money, and because of that, I can’t get one Democrat to join the bill. So if you had a monthly withdrawal from your account, you’d probably say, Oh, what’s this about? You would call the insurance company and say, “Hey, I didn’t enroll in this.” But the Democrats have even walked away from something as simple as that. I’m not sure they’re really serious. To your point, though, Democrats wake up in the morning saying, if we just throw more money at the problem, that’s going to solve it, and that’s always their solution. They just want to keep throwing more of your money out the window.”
