More than 1 million people have exploited the Obamacare marketplace by enrolling people without identity verification, Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. said.
RFK Jr. and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Director Dr. Oz said in a video posted on social media that over 1 million people enrolled in Obamacare have no listed Social Security number.

The duo said that healthcare fraud affects millions of Americans and that they will expose bad actors who steal from taxpayers.
Medicare, Medicaid, related premium tax credits, and children's health insurance cost taxpayers $1.1 trillion, $708 billion, $112 billion, and $25 billion in fiscal year 2026, respectively, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
The ever-growing cost contributes significantly to the national debt, which sits at about $39 trillion.
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump's Department of Justice announced fraud charges against hundreds of defendants, alleging losses of at least $6.5 billion to taxpayers.

Large-scale entitlement spending will always leave us vulnerable to widespread waste, fraud, and abuse.

It’s not going to work to say “okay, we’ll just get smarter about how administer it.”
The vulnerability inheres in any system that involves perpetually writing blank checks. https://t.co/wYbu2YTa1F
Dr Oz is doing far more to uncover and stop Medicaid and Medicare fraud than any previous CMS administrator. $Billions of your money is being saved. He’s one of the best appointments Pres Trump has made. pic.twitter.com/EizGt7i3Xz
