Vice President JD Vance announced Tuesday that his anti-fraud task force is canceling about 760,000 enrollees of zero-premium health plans under the Affordable Care Act and performing additional verification for another 419,000 accounts. The federal government expects to save an estimated $2.2 billion this year with the disenrollments.
