WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance will make an announcement on Obamacare fraud Tuesday morning at the White House, The Post has learned — after launching crackdowns that restricted funding for other federal healthcare programs.
Vance has focused heavily on alleged theft of taxpayer money in multibillion-dollar medical programs in his role as Trump’s fraud czar — generally coupling allegations with action to block the distribution of funds deemed at-risk for misappropriation.
The announcement comes as the Trump administration turns up the heat on President Barack Obama’s namesake health insurance overhaul, with President Trump vowing earlier this month to “stop all government payments to the big insurance companies” if Republicans retain control of Congress.
The precise content of Vance’s remarks, including possible federal action, was not immediately clear, though congressional investigations have revealed significant alleged fraud in the signup process for subsidies under the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
Vance previously announced the withholding of low-income Medicaid reimbursement to states for certain programs deemed at high risk of fraud, imposed a moratorium on durable medical equipment providers for the old-age Medicare program and suspended 447 purported hospice providers in California.
A December report from the Government Accountability Office, a legislative agency, found that as of 2024 66,000 Social Security numbers were enrolled in multiple Obamacare plans — with one used for 125 policies.

How an enduring debate over health care sparked a now record-long shutdown
https://www.npr.org/2025/11/05/nx-s1-5596472/government-shutdown-record-health-care-subsidies
Now we know why the democrats were so adamant about passing the Affordable Care Act (Obozo care). It was mostly about creating a huge pool of public money for the Democrats to loot and for the government to control who gets medical care. No prosecutions yet and there likely won’t be any.
A fight for fraud means repeal is off the table.
The track record of broken promises remains unbroken. Obamacare will be here for four more years.
” It was mostly about creating a huge pool of public money for the Democrats to loot and for the government to control who gets medical care.”
Exactly right. And Hillary was shilling for federal healthcare before Obama.
Arrest Traitor Roberts and Gitmo’ him?
Yup, that’s how the system works. Any city, state or federal program created also creates the opportunity for fraud and graft. obamacare is a prime example at the fed level. Kalifornia’s train to nowhere is an example of state graft.
Now we know? We’ve known this about every major government program for decades. Ever heard of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, USAID, the list goes on and on and on...
All Democrat vote-buying and vote-fraud-funding schemes. But, quick, everyone have a major tizzy because Trump says he wants to send out $5,000 checks.
Well, ok, mostly state funds, but I’d like the $8B in federal grants to the project back, thank you.
And Medicaid before that, and Medicare before that, and...
YES
Vance should go to California and start digging deep. Fraud is everywhere!
“congressional investigations have revealed significant alleged fraud in the signup process for subsidies under the 2010 Affordable Care Act.”
Color me shocked.
“Vance previously ... suspended 447 purported hospice providers in California.”
I can’t imagine how much fraud must prevail in California with people like Newscum in charge.
