Stronger verification protocols have been restored after alleged scammers took advantage of the program on Biden’s watch
EXCLUSIVE: As part of an anti-fraud crackdown that spans the entirety of the federal government, the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) uncovered millions of alleged fraudsters on the Affordable Care Act rolls, according to a report obtained by Fox News Digital.
A Biden-era spike in Obamacare enrollments led to a probe into the veracity of millions of claims, a Trump administration official confirmed. At the beginning of Biden’s term, there were 10 million people enrolled in the government’s healthcare program, but that number drastically skyrocketed to 22 million at its 2024 peak.
Now, the Trump administration has removed nearly three million of the fraudulent enrollees, with a planned 2.6 million left to go.
