Officials also say they have strengthened oversight of agents participating in the federal marketplace.

As a result of those efforts, nearly three million enrollments have already been removed from the Affordable Care Act exchanges.

Even after those removals, approximately 19.2 million people remain enrolled.

The administration says its goal is not to reduce legitimate coverage but to ensure taxpayer dollars are being spent only on individuals who actually qualify.

“Preserving the fiscal and programmatic integrity of the ACA Exchanges is key to safeguarding taxpayer-funded resources for those that truly need them,” the report states.

“The federal government paying brokers to enroll individuals without their knowledge is not.”

The report also says the administration will continue pursuing additional enforcement actions against brokers and others accused of exploiting the program.

“The Trump Administration continues to aggressively root out fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption by promulgating new regulations to improve program integrity, investigating suspected improper or fraudulent enrollment, and taking action against agents and brokers committing fraud.”
