EXCLUSIVE: As part of an anti-fraud crackdown that spans the entirety of the federal government, the Trump administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) uncovered millions of alleged fraudsters on the Affordable Care Act rolls, according to a report obtained by Fox News Digital.
A Biden-era spike in Obamacare enrollments led to a probe into the veracity of millions of claims, a Trump administration official confirmed. At the beginning of Biden's term, there were 10 million people enrolled in the government's healthcare program, but that number drastically skyrocketed to 22 million at its 2024 peak.
Now, the Trump administration has removed nearly three million of the fraudulent enrollees, with a planned 2.6 million left to go.
The administration official said the program's massive abuse equates to about $10 billion swindled annually from the American taxpayer between 2021 and 2024.

Do I get the honors of the judgie poo countdown ? 3,2,1
NOT !
I want the organs of all of the criminals involved removed for use by decent people in need of transplants.
I seem to recall back when they were trying to convince everyone that Obamacare was going to be this great thing that there were 50 million uninsured people in the country.
So, even with all the scammers it never got over 22 million?
Congress has failed us.
Another Barak Laundry.
Just thinks of the loot saved!
Wonder how much of that money went into Soros’ pockets.
Reduced budget for 2027 coming in....
Socialism hit hardest democrats give finger.

The federal phone assistance program commonly called the βObama phoneβ is still available. Its official name is Lifeline, and it provides a monthly discount of up to $9.25 on phone or internet service for low-income households.1 Despite frequent confusion with the now-expired Affordable Connectivity Program, Lifeline remains a separate, fully funded initiative that operates in every state, territory, and on Tribal lands.
YES!
The Biden administration relaxed eligibility checks and income verification requirements while also allowing more year-round enrollment in the program, according to the report. Furthermore, the report claims that fraudsters intentionally misstated their income levels in order to qualify and that insurance brokers signed people up for Obamacare without their knowledge, which are called “phantom enrollments.” Some people also received subsidies they were not eligible for.
“By our estimate, improper, phantom, and fraudulent enrollment peaked at 5.6 million people in 2025,” the report says. “We estimate 2.6 million improper and phantom enrollments remain, including over 1 million enrollments without a social security number.
