News Vance-Led Task Force Removing 760,000 Allegedly Fraudulent Obamacare Enrollments
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/vance-led-task-force-set-to-remove-760-000-allegedly-fraudulent-obamacare-enrollments-0fbb72d7Tuesday’s enforcement action, directed by the Vance-led White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, represents one of the largest administrative purges targeting individual insurance exchanges since the Trump administration’s crackdown on fraud began last year.
Vance and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, announced Tuesday that they are canceling subsidy payments for allegedly unauthorized and fraudulent enrollments in the ACA, also known as Obamacare, for 760,000 individual accounts. They say those cancellations would amount to saving an estimated $2.2 billion in taxpayer funds.
“We’re actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them, amazingly we weren’t doing that before,” Vance said.
A HHS report from earlier this year estimated that nearly half of new Obamacare sign-ups from 2021 to 2024 were likely improper, phantom or fraudulent. CMS estimates, for instance, that more than a million enrollees signed up for the benefit without providing a Social Security number.
