Vice President JD Vance and White House officials are announcing plans to remove 760,000 Affordable Care Act enrollees from public healthcare exchanges. They allege these individuals were fraudulently enrolled or do not exist. On Tuesday, Vance said this move would save $2.2 billion, ensuring subsidies go to those who need them. The Trump administration is also suspending new brokers from signing up enrollees for six months, citing fraud concerns. The announcement was made at the White House with Dr. Mehmet Oz and other officials. As of early 2026, about 19.2 million Americans are enrolled in ACA marketplace plans.
