CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 9, 2025
THE SENATE IS EXPECTED TO VOTE THIS WEEK ON A BILL SPONSORED BY DEMOCRATS THAT WOULD EXTEND OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES.
AS A WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL POINTS OUT: OBAMACARE HAS BEEN “A MECCA FOR FRAUD.” TOSS IN MINNESOTA AND WHAT SO MANY SOMALI IMMIGRANTS HAVE DONE TO GAME THE WELFARE SYSTEM AND ITS DEMOCRATS, NOT REPUBLICANS, WHO SHOULD BE ON DEFENSE.
AS THE JOURNAL NOTES: “THE GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE LAST FALL BEGAN AN UNDERCOVER TEST IN WHICH IT SUBMITTED INSURANCE APPLICATIONS FOR FICTIOUS INDIVIDUALS TO THE OBAMA EXCHANGE AND INSURANCE BROKERS. NEARLY ALL OF ITS INVENTED PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO ENROLL IN SUBSIDIZED PLANS DESPITE SUBMITTING FALSE OR NO RECORDS TO VERIFY THEIR IDENTITIES AND INCOMES.”
THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS SUGGESTIONS HOW TO FIX THE BLOATED AND EXPENSIVE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. POLITICIANS WOULD RATHER HAVE THE ISSUE THAN A SOLUTION SO THEY CAN BASH REPUBLICANS AND KEEP THEMSELVES IN OFFICE.
AS THE JOURNAL NOTES, “REPUBLICANS WOULD BE WISE TO REMIND VOTERS THAT DEMOCRATS SOLD OBAMACARE ON FALSE PRETENSES THAT IT WOULD MAKE HEALTH CARE ‘AFFORDABLE.’ EXTENDING THE SUBSIDIES WOULD PERPETUATE THAT FRAUD.”
I’M CAL THOMAS.
