Caption: US Halts Obamacare Enrollment for More Than 760,000 Over Alleged Fraud. The Trump administration is halting Obamacare coverage for more than 760,000 enrollees it believes were improperly signed up. Vice President JD Vance said the crackdown could save taxpayers around $2.2 billion in federal spending. Officials canceled roughly 315,000 plans over questionable citizenship documents and suspected unauthorized enrollments. The administration also plans to block 569 brokers accused of submitting applications without required information, including Social Security numbers. Another 419,000 to 450,000 people will undergo additional checks to verify residency and income eligibility. Officials say some affected enrollees were real people who were enrolled without knowing they had coverage. The government has also imposed a six-month freeze on new Obamacare broker registrations nationwide. CMS estimates improper enrollments could cost up to $6.6 billion in federal spending during the 2026 plan year. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
