“The Trump administration is planning to boot more than 700,000 people from their Affordable Care Act coverage as part of a purported initiative to root out fraud in the program—an effort that campaigners said is nothing more than a pretext to kick more people off healthcare. Vice President JD Vance, who is leading the White House’s ‘Task Force to Eliminate Fraud’, announced the planned ACA purge during a press conference on Tuesday alongside Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz, whose agency has touted a right-wing think tank’s dubious claim that millions of ACA enrollees are on the program improperly. Vance insisted during Tuesday’s press conference that the administration is putting itself ‘under an extraordinary burden of proof’ to ensure its mass removal doesn’t impact people who are eligible for ACA coverage, but advocates were not convinced.” (09/22/26)
