Vice President JD Vance will make an announcement on Obamacare fraud at the White House.1

The Trump administration plans to remove approximately 760,000 Affordable Care Act enrollees from public healthcare exchanges due to alleged fraud or non-existence.23

Vice President JD Vance and other officials claim that the removal of these enrollees will result in $2.2 billion in cost savings for taxpayers.243

The administration also announced a six-month moratorium on new health insurance brokers and agents to prevent further fraudulent enrollments.53

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz stated that the removed enrollees include both individuals who do not meet eligibility requirements and those who are considered 'phantoms' or 'ghosts'.6
