Vance and Oz cancel 750,000 ACA enrollees over alleged subsidy fraud

The Trump administration has disenrolled hundreds of thousands from Affordable Care Act plans, claiming they were ineligible or nonexistent.

What to know

  • The Trump administration disenrolled 750,000 ACA enrollees—4% of all recipients—claiming they were ineligible or nonexistent, saving $2.2 billion in improper subsidies.
  • Critics note that broker fraud is real but limited; the Biden administration decertified 200 fraudulent brokers, and the Trump administration recertified them last year.
  • The administration imposed a moratorium on new broker registration two months before open enrollment, potentially blocking legitimate sign-ups.
  • Reporting questions whether the policy conflates limited, prosecutable fraud with mass disenrollment and whether legitimate enrollees will be harmed.

“The ACA ejections are likely to save only a vanishingly small fraction of federal government spending—$2.2 billion, Vance claims—while kicking real people off their insurance.”

    New Republic article questions administration's fraud claims

    Monica Potts of the New Republic argues that while broker fraud is a real problem—the Biden administration decertified 200 brokers during its tenure—the Trump administration recertified them last year. She notes that verifying income and eligibility is the government's statutory job, not a new discovery, and suggests the action disproportionately harms legitimate enrollees while saving only a small fraction of federal spending.

    Vance and Oz announce 750,000 ACA disenrollments for subsidy fraud

    Vice President JD Vance and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services head Dr. Mehmet Oz held a press conference announcing that an anti-fraud task force found 750,000 people who had wrongly signed up for ACA insurance and received federal subsidies improperly. The Trump administration halted subsidies to insurers for these enrollees, effectively canceling their plans. The administration also instituted a temporary moratorium on registering new brokers ahead of open enrollment.

    “We're actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them.”
