An estimated 19.2 million Americans are enrolled in an Obamacare exchange plan, according to the latest data from HHS.
That’s down from about 23.4 million in 2025.
Notably, the enhanced Obamacare subsidies put in place under the Biden administration expired at the end of last year.
Kennedy and Oz have been crusading against fraud in social spending on healthcare. They didn’t say how many of the 1 million Obamacare enrollees who lacked Social Security numbers were suspected of fraud.
But they argued that the systems in place should’ve identified the lack of proper vetting earlier.
Oz claimed that “rogue agents and other bad actors” have been enrolling “unsuspecting Americans in health plans they never signed up for,” and using fake identities to collect fees from insurance companies for “selling plans they never legitimately sold.”
