WASHINGTON \u2014\u00a0More than 1 million people enrolled in Obamacare plans lack Social Security Numbers, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz.<\/p>\n

Kennedy called that \u201ca glaring warning sign for fraud\u201d across the Obamacare program and faulted President Trump\u2019s predecessors for not maintaining proper guardrails in social safety net programs. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Obamacare marketplace is plagued by fraud in large part because the Biden administration dismantled basic program integrity guardrails, while partisan lawfare blocked common sense efforts to protect taxpayers,\u201d Kennedy grumbled in a video announcement with Oz on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are we paying people we don\u2019t know if they actually exist?\u201d<\/p>\n

An estimated 19.2 million Americans are enrolled in an Obamacare exchange plan, . <\/p>\n

That\u2019s down from about 23.4 million in 2025.<\/p>\n

Notably, the enhanced Obamacare subsidies put in place under the Biden administration expired at the end of last year. <\/p>\n

Kennedy and Oz have been crusading against fraud in social spending on healthcare. They didn\u2019t say how many of the 1 million Obamacare enrollees who lacked Social Security numbers were suspected of fraud.<\/p>\n

But they argued that the systems in place should\u2019ve identified the lack of proper vetting earlier.<\/p>\n

Oz claimed that \u201crogue agents and other bad actors\u201d have been enrolling \u201cunsuspecting Americans in health plans they never signed up for,\u201d and using fake identities to collect fees from insurance companies for \u201cselling plans they never legitimately sold.\u201d<\/p>\n

Typically, they select plans that don\u2019t have premiums so that people are unaware that they\u2019ve been enrolled, according to the health bosses. <\/p>\n

\u201cSome of these agents refuse to follow basic rules, like providing their clients\u2019 social security numbers. That, my friends, is a huge red flag,\u201d Oz claimed. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s not clear how widespread that alleged phenomenon is.<\/p>\n

The two Trump admin leader said they have a \u201czero tolerance policy\u201d for such fraud and have eliminated thousands of fraudulent enrollments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also working with insurers to cancel every policy that should never have been issued and recover every taxpayer dollar that was fraudulently paid out,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re a fraudster, here\u2019s our advice to you: do not walk away from us, run, because we are going to find you,\u201d Oz added. <\/p>\n
