White House to yank 750,000 fraudsters off ObamaCare, save taxpayers $2.2 billion, Vance says
Vice President JD Vance said the White House would remove 750,000 people it considers fraudulent ObamaCare recipients, claiming the move would save US taxpayers $2.2 billion. The administration also plans additional verification for 419,000 others, focusing on residency and income eligibility. Vance blamed policies under former President Joe Biden for encouraging fraudulent enrolments.
CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz said more than 1.1 million current enrollees lacked Social Security numbers and 35% had not used their coverage. Officials cited alleged broker schemes, including one involving 50,000 enrolments, while the article presented the administration’s fraud estimates and allegations without independently verifying them.
