Florida’s Obamacare Fraud Boom
Insurers claim federal funds to cover more poor Miami residents than live there.
Since Covid, Congress has temporarily expanded federal subsidies to make Obamacare plans free for Americans declaring low incomes, causing enrollment to increase nationwide.
In Florida’s Miami-Dade County, enrollment has leapt to almost six times the national average, involving billions of dollars of fraud.
- Some insurance brokers have systematically misreported enrollees’ incomes.
- Bribed homeless people to sign up.
- Enrolled others without their knowledge or consent.
In Miami-Dade, more supposedly low-income residents are now enrolled in free Obamacare plans than actually live there—despite most already having other health insurance or being ineligible due to their immigration status.
