Senate Democrats Question Insurers on ACA Fraud Terminations

Senate Democrats Ron Wyden and Bernie Sanders sent letters Monday to CEOs of the 10 largest Affordable Care Act insurers, questioning their cooperation with the Trump administration's effort to terminate coverage for thousands of ObamaCare enrollees over alleged fraud. The lawmakers are seeking information on how insurers identified affected enrollees and what due process protections, if any, were provided before coverage was cut off. No specific compliance deadline was cited in the letters. The inquiry signals heightened congressional scrutiny of marketplace program integrity actions and their impact on enrollee access to coverage.
