  • The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released a proposed rule to "address the troubling amount of improper enrollments."

The Trump administration has initiated a crackdown on improper enrollments in health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This effort targets individuals who might have enrolled in health plans without proper verification of their eligibility, particularly focusing on those who might have misrepresented their income or citizenship status to gain subsidies. The administration's actions include enhanced verification processes and data-matching programs to ensure that only eligible individuals receive federal subsidies. This move is part of a broader strategy to reduce fraud and waste in federal health programs, potentially affecting millions of enrolleans by either confirming their eligibility or removing them from coverage if found ineligible. Critics argue that these measures could lead to the unintended consequence of disenrolling legitimate beneficiaries due to overly stringent verification processes.
