Trump administration removes around 760,000 Obamacare enrollments, alleging fraud

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said on Tuesday it canceled roughly 315,000 Affordable Care Act marketplace enrollments covering about 760,000 people last month, alleging "rampant fraud" and improper enrollments in the program. The enforcement action also involves verifying roughly 419,000 people to ensure they are legal U.S. residents and meet the income threshold requirements to receive benefits from the Affordable Care Act's public exchanges, also known as Obamacare, according to a CMS release. Vice President JD Vance's White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud led the cancellations, and estimates the action will save roughly $2.2 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies.
