The Trump administration announced plans to remove approximately 760,000 individuals from Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage, citing fraud and ineligibility. The action, which is expected to save an estimated $2.2 billion in taxpayer funds, involves canceling subsidy payments tied to these accounts, according to multiple reports. Officials claim these individuals were either fraudulently enrolled or did not exist. Another 419,000 enrollments are reportedly under review. Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), said, “These are not real people. We’re not paying insurance for nonexistent ghosts.” The task force responsible for the action is described as being focused on eliminating fraud in the ACA insurance exchanges.
