Rep. Mark Harris, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from North Carolina, posted a series of tweets on December 4, 2025, criticizing federal government programs and health care policy.
In his first tweet at 18:53 UTC, Harris wrote: “The Left doesn’t just want bigger government — they want government to BE God.
Forcing you to depend on D.C. bureaucrats for everything — all while bloated programs like SNAP and welfare programs hemorrhage billions in waste, fraud, and abuse!
Enough.

Later that day at 19:06 UTC, Harris continued his criticism of federal health care initiatives by stating: “Premiums skyrocketing every year.
Deductibles so high they’re useless.
Insurance giants posting record profits.
Obamacare exposed for rubber-stamping 96% of fake applications—YOUR tax dollars down the drain!
That’s the broken mess of Obamacare.

At 19:16 UTC, he posted a third tweet containing only American flag emojis and a link: ” https://t.co/lB8p2ORFpv”.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is one of the largest anti-hunger programs in the United States and has faced scrutiny over administrative costs and error rates; however, studies have found that its payment accuracy rate has improved over time (source). Welfare programs overall represent a significant portion of federal spending but are subject to regular oversight to address issues related to fraud or inefficiency (source).
The Affordable Care Act (commonly known as Obamacare) was enacted in 2010 with the goal of expanding health insurance coverage and controlling costs. While some insurers have reported increased profits in recent years due to factors such as pandemic-related changes in healthcare utilization (source), there is no public evidence supporting claims that 96% of applications were fraudulent or rubber-stamped without verification. Premium increases have varied widely by market and year (source).
Rep. Mark Harris’ comments reflect ongoing debates about the size and scope of federal social safety net programs as well as differing perspectives on health care reform efforts such as the Affordable Care Act.
