Trump Administration Proposes Major Reforms to Curb Government Waste

In a bold move, the Trump administration seeks to restore policies targeting fraud and limiting benefits for illegal immigrants while enforcing stricter income verification in healthcare subsidies.


The latest proposal from the Trump administration aims to reverse Biden-era policies, eliminate taxpayer-funded healthcare for DACA recipients, and enforce stricter regulations to prevent fraudulent claims in the Obamacare Exchanges.



The Trump administration is stepping forward with ambitious proposals aimed at addressing wasteful government spending by reinstating critical policies designed to eliminate fraud, cut off benefits to illegal immigrants, and tighten verification processes in the Obamacare Exchanges.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has put forth a new rule that, if enacted, would reverse several policies from the Biden era, reintroducing reforms from President Trump's initial term. One of the most controversial changes would be the termination of Exchange coverage for DACA recipients, effectively undoing Biden's initiative to offer taxpayer-subsidized healthcare to undocumented immigrants.

Republican attorneys general have already lodged legal challenges against Biden's healthcare expansion for DACA recipients across various states. The implementation of Trump's proposed rule aims to put a definitive stop to the ongoing legal disputes and to the distribution of government-funded benefits to non-citizens.

In addition to addressing coverage for undocumented individuals, the administration's proposal takes aim at fraudulent claims for subsidies. Research indicates that a notable number of enrollees may misrepresent their financial situations to gain access to larger sums of government assistance. Under Trump's new guidelines, stricter income verification processes would be put in place, ensuring that subsidies align with actual earnings, while requiring individuals to repay any excess benefits received.

Furthermore, the administration intends to close loopholes associated with special enrollment periods that allow individuals to enroll in coverage only when they are ill. This practice can lead to increased costs for those who diligently contribute to the system. Trump’s plan also includes a reduction of the open enrollment period by one month, thereby discouraging potential abuses of the system.

With government expenditures reaching unprecedented levels, Trump's commitment to enhancing fiscal responsibility, preventing fraud, and terminating benefits for undocumented immigrants is being positioned as a significant and necessary shift for American taxpayers.
