Speaker Johnson says 23 of 24 fraudulent Obamacare applications with no documentation were approved in investigation

House Speaker Mike Johnson says at a weekly news conference that over the last two years investigators at the GAO Government Accountability Office did a little experiment where they applied for Obamacare subsidies fraudulently by intent in 24 different cases with no social security data citizenship proof or income documents attached, revealed out of the 24 applications 23 of them were approved and had been paid tens of thousands of dollars some as recently as September of this year, and explained the GAO tracked all of this fraud wondering hoping if anybody would ever pay any attention to it and stop it.
