Fraud scrutiny clouds Schumer’s Obamacare credit push after his Pentagon ‘luxury’ spending jab

Schumer slams Pentagon's $93B spending spree, pushes ACA subsidies instead. Critics cite widespread fraud in healthcare program with phantom enrollees.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com

About 23 million people enrolled in healthcare plans in the ACA marketplace for 2026, but an estimated 3 to 4 million enrollees are likely "phantom enrollees," Paragon Health found, describing them as those who are either fictitious or do not know they are enrolled in a plan. Blase said "unscrupulous" brokers and agents, who are incentivized to enroll people in healthcare plans, can enroll them without their consent.

Using data released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services last year, Paragon Health found that from 2021 to 2024, a growing number of ACA enrollees never used their health plans. In 2024, 35% never used their coverage.

Blase said that figure was suspicious, noting that "in a normal health insurance market, there’s about 15% of people that don’t use their health insurance in a given year."

Voter ID Laws Are Popular for Good Reasons

Hours after Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH) signed a new voter ID law in Ohio, the firm of Democratic super-lawyer Marc Elias announced plans to litigate against it. Abha Khanna, a partner with the Elias Law Group, echoed the Left’s evidence-free canard that "voter suppression is, unfortunately, alive...

Agreed, 80% of American voters want voter I.D. Requirements. As I do.

Not nearly 80% of American’s support the SAVE America Act which is why it will fail to pass today in the Senate. It’s a loaded joke of a bill.

There are lots of issues with the bill. The trans thing was put in there by Trump so that if the bill fails to pass he can go back to the Senators that didn’t vote in favor of the bill and let the public think “they are in favor of trans in women’s sports”.

The trans thing does not belong in the bill.

LOL, you could have just said yes.
 
Gee, I wonder who the uninsured drivers are....

Part of the reason rising insurance costs are hitting drivers like Mr. Rhodes is the steady growth in uninsured drivers. The number of people driving without coverage jumped to more than 15 percent in 2023 from about 11 percent in 2019, according to Insurance Research Council, a firm that calculates data based on the relative frequencies of auto-insurance claims. JD Power, which surveys consumers about insurance trends, reported a similar increase in uninsured drivers in the second half of 2025.

Looks to me like a large portion of the uninsured may be the lower income, MAGA base.

AI Overview
Approximately 1 in 7 (15.4%) drivers in the U.S. were uninsured in 2023, totaling roughly 32 million motorists
. These drivers are often found in states like New Mexico, Mississippi, and Tennessee, and frequently cite high costs as the primary factor, particularly among low-income drivers, young adults, or those with poor credit.

Demographic and Economic Factors
  • Income Constraints: The majority of uninsured drivers (approx. 82%) cite high costs, with many living in poverty and finding insurance premiums unaffordable.
  • High-Risk Areas: Drivers in urban areas with high premium costs, such as Detroit, are more likely to be uninsured, with insurance costs sometimes taking up to 36% of their pre-tax income.
  • Age and Risk: Younger drivers, individuals with poor credit, or those residing in high-risk areas are more likely to be uninsured.
  • Inoperable Vehicles:Many uninsured drivers own vehicles that are seldom used or not currently functional.

Other Key Drivers
  • Lower-Income Groups: Lower-income drivers are more likely to be uninsured.
  • Legal/Financial Misunderstandings: Some drivers may not understand the legal requirement or think they have sufficient coverage when they do not.
  • Increased Risk Areas: In areas with lower law enforcement checks for "proof of insurance," the rate of uninsured motorists may be higher.
 
Gee, I wonder why these areas would be attractive for a certain population.

Lower incomes, not understanding the law and lack of law enforcement....hmmm.
AI could never come out and say it, it's been trained with liberal MSM publications.

The MAGA base makes up a fairly large portion of the “ lower income base.” In large part that’s because a larger percentage of their voting block never went to college, but also many MAGA’s dropped out of school in the early grades of grammar school. Many were home schooled where the focus of education was on making moonshine.
