Mehmet Oz on ACA 'phantom enrollees' and broker fraud: warns against

Dr. Mehmet Oz warns against ACA enrollment fraud — what he calls “phantom enrollees” who don’t exist or were enrolled without their knowledge. On September 22, 2026, Oz joined Vice President JD Vance to announce the removal of more than 760,000 such enrollees, saving a claimed $2.2 billion, according to CNN’s reporting.

Oz’s stated reasoning is that improper enrollments and unscrupulous brokers inflate taxpayer costs and distort the marketplace. The September action also included broker suspensions and a six-month moratorium on new brokers.
