The government says a million people are getting health care they don't qualify for.

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz say a lack of checks let billions of tax dollars go to people without Social Security numbers.

When you pay your taxes, you expect the money to help people who follow the rules. Now, the leaders in charge of our health say the system is broken.

WHAT HAPPENED

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz just finished a big look at the federal health system. They found more than 1 million people signed up for Obamacare without a Social Security number.

They say this shows the system is full of fraud. They claim the government has not been watching how the money is spent.

This news signals a major crackdown on the federal health exchange. The administration says it wants to stop billions of dollars from going to the wrong people.

WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS

1 million people are enrolled without a Social Security number.

• Billions of dollars in tax credits may be going to the wrong people.
• The audit claims the system lacks federal oversight.
• The administration is planning a major cleanup of the rolls.
• The data comes from a new review of the federal health exchange.

THE BIGGER QUESTION

Is this a case of people lying to get help, or is the government's own paperwork just a mess? We have to ask if the system was built to be easy to use or just easy to cheat.

If the government can't track who is getting help, it hurts the people who actually need it. We should be asking why these gaps were allowed to stay open for so long.

THE OTHER SIDE

People who support the health law say many legal residents are still waiting for their papers. They worry that a fast crackdown will take doctors away from families who are here legally. This argument is hard to judge until the government shows exactly who these 1 million people are.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW

Thousands of people might lose their health insurance in the coming months. The government will likely start asking for more proof from everyone who signs up.

If you are on an Obamacare plan, you might have to prove who you are all over again. This could make it harder for everyone to get the care they need.

WHAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW

1. How many of these people are actually here legally but just lack a number?
2. How much money will the government actually save by removing them?
3. Will this change make the sign-up process much slower for everyone else?
