Kennedy, Oz Contend Fraud Crackdown, Not Skyrocketing Prices, Led Millions To Leave Obamacare
The Trump administration attributes a 3 million drop in Affordable Care Act (ACA) enrollment to fraud crackdowns, but experts argue rising premiums and deductibles are the primary cause. The Department of Health and Human Services claims 2.9 million fraudulent enrollments were removed, aligning with the enrollment decline, while critics dispute the report's assumptions and highlight unaffordable costs for consumers.
