Trump Admin Boots 760K Individuals From ACA Exchanges, Citing Alleged Fraud

Wednesday, September 23, 2026

One critic decried the move as "a political stunt designed to throw even more people off their coverage."

Remember: this is a political choice. The GOP tried to repeal Obamacare for over 15 years. They couldn't do it through the legislative process, so they are destroying the ACA by killing the marketplaces, making them unaffordable, throwing people off their plans. And by cutting people off Medicaid.

No wonder DJT is the self-proclaimed, "King of AI".

It does all sorts of tricks for him.

Stunt implies imagination. This is anger and self-loathing.

Yeah, they pulled this stunt the last time around too.

They cancelled mine. But losing coverage immediately triggers a special enrollment period under the ACA. So I had a new policy ready to go before the cancellation took effect.

"...based in part on "fraud" claims predicted by an AI model..."

GIGO at its worst.

The prompt was probably "find at least 3/4ths of a million".

I'm sorry sir. The computer says you are committing fraud and or that you don't exist.

There is nothing we can do.

Have a nice day.

A way to combat this would be to find people being cancelled for their "fraud" when in fact they didn't commit any fraud.

put a face to this political shenanigan.

How do they know NOW an enrollee committed fraud?

Is this like the trump admin's voter "fraud" statement that said there were over 10,000 cases of voter fraud, but the Trump admin was not able to find even one tenth that amount?

Would this be around 4% of the enrollees? 760K out of over 19 million?
