Obamacare to kick out 115,000 lacking residency proof

Published Updated 2 Min Read

About 115,000 people who signed up for Obamacare and may not be legal residents of the U.S. will lose their insurance coverage at the end of the month, the government said Monday.

After spending months trying to coax 966,000 people who enrolled in coverage to provide documents proving their legal status, the government said it had received information from about 851,000 of them. Undocumented immigrants aren’t allowed to use new government-run health exchanges to buy insurance.
