JD Vance Announces $2.2 Billion Recovered in Obamacare Fraud: Fraud Is ‘Definitely Making Health Care More Expensive’Nick Gilbertson 22 Sep 2026
WASHINGTON—Vice President JD Vance, in response to a question from Breitbart News, said Tuesday that fraud is “definitely making health care more expensive,” while Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services chief Dr. Mehmet Oz said, “Fraud will destroy Obamacare.”
At a press conference in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House campus, Vance announced that the administration has recovered $2.2 billion in fraud in Obamacare—also known as the Affordable Care Act—by ensuring that only those entitled to Obamacare subsidies receive them.

“You have a system where, on the one hand, brokers are paid money to feed patients into the system, while on the other hand, the government isn’t even checking whether the people enrolled are actually eligible for the program. What do you have? Of course—rampant, rampant fraud,” he said.
Vance said the Trump administration is taking multiple actions to combat Obamacare fraud, including ending enrollment for 750,000 people believed to be fraudulently enrolled.
