'Dead People' Costing Taxpayers Billions in Obamacare Fraud

from 3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary · host Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump rolling back Joe Biden’s fuel-economy mandates on automakers, a stunning new report on widespread Obamacare fraud, and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s push to tax former California residents to plug his state’s massive budget deficit.First, they applaud President Trump for scrapping the Biden administration’s burdensome fuel-economy standards. The move will likely lower costs and will almost certainly save lives. Jim and Greg unload on Democrats who want to limit our choices on the vehicles we drive and in other areas of life.Next, they groan as a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report shows that the government accepted 100 percent of fraudulent Obamacare exchange applications that the GAO submitted as part of its investigation. In addition, the actual Obamacare fraud happening in the system is costing taxpayers billions of dollars and much of it happens when applicants use the Social Security numbers of dead people.Finally, they laugh as California Gov. Gavin Newsom attempts to fix his state’s budget disaster by taxing people who have already moved away. Jim turns to a classic song to underscore how absurd the idea is, and he hopes someone sues the state if lawmakers actually pass the plan.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout.  For a limited time, try OneSkin for 15% off with code 3ML at https://OneSkin.co/3ML — please support our show and mention we sent you!New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite
