WASHINGTON — More 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.
Kennedy called that “a glaring warning sign for fraud” across the Obamacare program and faulted President Trump’s predecessors for not maintaining proper guardrails in social safety net programs.
“The 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,” Kennedy grumbled in a video announcement with Oz on Saturday.
“Why are we paying people we don’t know if they actually exist?”
