CMS Restores Some ACA Coverage After 760,000 Cuts

The Trump administration has removed 760,000 people from Affordable Care Act plans as part of an effort to curb alleged fraud, but insurers say a small number of people whose coverage was canceled improperly have been reinstated. Supporters say the purge targeted unauthorized or fictitious zero-premium policies, while critics warn that legitimate enrollees may have been dropped for missing outreach or having no recent claims. The administration is also scrutinizing 419,000 additional sign-ups, but has disclosed little about how many cancellations were reversed or how effectively affected consumers were contacted.
