Vice President JD Vance, who leads a White House task force aimed at eliminating fraud, said while speaking to reporters that $2.2 billion in taxpayer funds would be saved by removing the hundreds of thousands of Affordable Care Act (ACA) enrollees from the public insurance marketplaces.
The Administration will also place a six month moratorium on new health insurance brokers and agents, who help individuals sign up for health plans, Vance said.
The Administration’s move to eject fraudulent enrollees from the Obamacare insurance marketplaces is the latest in its broader efforts to crack down on fraud. An online “ledger” maintained by the White House asserts that the Vance-led anti-fraud task force has uncovered nearly $250 billion worth of fraud since Trump returned to office last January, including almost $100 billion at the Department of Health and Human Services.
The Administration has additionally targeted alleged fraud in food stamps, childcare facilities, COVID-era relief funding, student loans, and homelessness funding, among other areas. Critics have accused it of disproportionally focusing on Democratic-led states in its crackdown.
The 760,000 enrollees now being removed from the ACA rolls by the Trump Administration represent about 4% of the estimated 19.2 million people receiving coverage through the marketplaces in 2026.
A poll conducted by health policy research group KFF in June found that most voters believe there is at least some fraud in government health programs, and that more than 70% feel it is an extremely or very important issue for candidates to discuss ahead of the midterm elections. For Republican voters, fraud topped all health care issues asked about in the survey, including costs.
Amid the Trump Administration’s moves to withhold millions in Medicaid payments, 71% also voiced the belief that preserving access to coverage through the insurance program was more important than rooting out fraud. Meanwhile, 65% believed that the Administration’s Medicaid payment deferrals were mostly politically motivated.
