Trump admin moves to purge ACA enrollees over fraud claims

The Trump administration announced it will remove about 760,000 people enrolled in ACA plans after identifying fraud concerns, a move that critics say may lack clear criteria and could strip coverage from some who are not fraudulent, while officials say it targets actual fraud. The plan follows long-standing efforts to curb improper subsidies; GAO has highlighted fraud risks but without data on scale, and Democratic lawmakers have criticized the process. The issue comes as ACA costs and premiums have risen in recent years, and subsidies expired for many enrollees, intensifying political debate over access and affordability.
