Questioned whether the administration's process identified fraud correctly

On Aug. 31, CMS canceled 315,000 ACA marketplace policies covering 760,000 people, citing suspected fraud. The White House made the move public Sept. 22, saying brokers enrolled many without their knowledge and some enrollees may not exist; since then, CMS has reinstated a small number of people whose coverage was wrongly canceled and cut subsidies for 189,000 enrollees with duplicate or deceased coverage, saving $738 million.
