PUBLIC RECORD

The administration said October 14 that it was ending ACA subsidies for about 189,000 records involving Medicare or Medicaid overlap or deceased enrollees. Officials project $738 million in 2026 savings and say affected living enrollees retain coverage through another program. Recipients have 30 days to contest a finding.
