The biggest surgery in the history of Obamacare is about to amputate more than $2 billion in fraud.
The White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, led by Vice President J.D. Vance, is cutting 760,000 individual accounts that are on the Affordable Care Act’s books, administration officials said, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Vance and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, estimate canceling those accounts will save taxpayers $2.2 billion.
During the Biden administration, Obamacare enrollment increased from about 10 million people to more than 22 million.
A Department of Health and Human Services report issued this year estimated that nearly half of new Obamacare enrollments during Biden’s time in office were fraudulent.
CMS estimates that more than a million people never provided the required Social Security number when they enrolled.
CMS is also planning to check whether 415,000 people currently enrolled meet guidelines regarding immigration status and income.
The Trump administration is ending a Biden-era policy that allowed people to get a benefit without providing required information.

All living in the Third World ?
Why not just abolish Obozocare? The feckless Republicans don’t have the balls for that.
No immigrant within ten years of officially emigrating should get 0bamacare subsidies, or even be able to get it.
They all sign with their sponsors to not touch government benefits for ten years.
I second that.
Thats what I signed a long time ago, my wife is from Austria
What’s so painful to so many of us is watching Dorkbama giving a speech or interview and trying his hardest to sound like an intellect...without ever giving anyone a cogent (or correct) argument. He is a pretend intellect and he sooooo represents our Democrat party. And look how low it’s gone since that ignorant fool was Prez. Thanks, DEI Dorkbama.
GREAT
They know it's a massive failure. This will allow them to keep pushing for "FREE" Medicare for all.
All as planned.
“never provided the required Social Security number”
SSN is not required in Deloitte’s IES Integrated Eligibility System. A missing SSN has a high correlation to the DEAD and DUPLICATES in IES.
How big is the overlap between ACA and Medicaid and other programs in IES? How expensive is it to even answer that question when SSN is missing?
That is 2.2B/year
Fraud is a crime. Prosecute it. If you don’t, your just squeezing Jello. It will just move out to another place, inflicting even more on us.
Agreed. Not 10 years...but lifetime.
God bless Immigrants who work, take care of family.
Deport immigrants who
1) apply for welfare, benefits
2) give aid & comfort to terrorists, enemies of the US
3) murder, rape...DUI, Drunk n Disorderly
4) lie on visa and other documents.
Shut it all down. All of it. Force everyone to re-enroll and be reverified.
Not possible.
It was created by a 2/3 majority thanks to McCain.
There will never be another 2/3 majority anytime in the next 10 years.
“ million people never provided the REQUIRED Social Security number when they enrolled.”
To Deep State bureaucrats and democrat operatives “required” simply means “optional”
When is somebody going to “purge” the Kenyan. The boy needs to be in prison.
My dentist is from Vietnam. His father was an officer in the South Vietnamese Army who left his wife and nine children to come here and work, doing menial labor at multiple jobs, to make enough money to bring them here. It took him a few years of incredibly hard work and denying himself to earn enough, but he finally did. My dentist was 9 years old when he arrived here. They took not one penny of government assistance, bought all their clothes at rummage sales and thrift stores, lived extremely frugally. The whole family worked cleaning offices, all during their childhoods. Fortunately, they were Christians, and became a part of a local Vietnamese church. All the children were expected to make perfect grades, and all were told they were to become doctors, dentists or engineers. Every one of them received full scholarships to college based on their grades, and every one of them became a doctor, a dentist, or an engineer. None of them dated until they graduated college, because that is not the way the Vietnamese community believed it was to be done. “We had plenty of time to date after we got our education”, he told me. It was hard, they were teased because of their unstylish clothing, but they succeeded. My dentist told me his school was bombed during the war. He is very thankful for the sacrifices his parents made, and the values they were taught.
Great story.
I have a better idea.
Shut it all down. All of it. Force everyone to pay for their own medical care to the extent they desire and can afford. Providers can compete for their business.
