Trump administration removes up to 760,000 from Obamacare over alleged fraud
–
Neutral summary
The Trump administration has announced it is removing between 750,000 and 760,000 people from Obamacare plans, alleging they were fraudulently enrolled. Vice President JD Vance said his White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud identified recipients who were ineligible for subsidies, and some who, he claimed, did not exist. The administration estimates the measure will save taxpayers about $2.2 billion. Sources differ on the exact number: 750,000 is cited by Bloomberg, the New York Post, Forbes, Fox News, NBC News and ABC News, while The Independent, UOL, Fortune, CNBC and Time report 760,000. Another 419,000 to 450,000 enrollments are under review. Shares of the largest sellers of Obamacare plans fell on Tuesday after Vance's announcement. The program had about 23 million enrollees this year, so the removal affects roughly one in every 31 participants. Vance also said the administration is working to ensure all ACA Marketplace enrollees are legal U.S. residents.
