He continued, “Why do I think that? We reached out to them. We wanted to know, have you filed any claims? We don’t see anything. Have you ever responded to any questions we’ve asked you? Do you have a Social Security number? Without that, I can’t tell if you made enough money to be on Obamacare or maybe too much to be.”<\/p>\n
Oz told Fox News Digital that the administration is encouraging health insurance companies<\/a> to get involved in the anti-fraud push.<\/p>\n “From now on, we’re asking insurance companies to work with brokers who record the conversations,” Oz said.<\/p>\n “Why wouldn’t you?” he said. “What are you nervous about? What are you worried about? Why don’t you want me to hear what you discussed?”<\/p>\n OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT UNCOVERS $500M IN FRAUD AND WASTE IN FEDERAL HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAMS<\/a><\/p>\n Vice President JD Vance speaks during a news conference on fraud at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House Campus on Sept. 22, 2026, in Washington, D.C.
