Few Details on How Hundreds of Thousands Lost ACA Coverage, as the Effort's Next Stage Begins

The Trump administration canceled hundreds of thousands of Affordable Care Act enrollments while providing few details about the process it used, NPR reports — and the next stage of the anti-fraud effort is already under way. That ordering is the part worth sitting with. The cancellations are large enough to count as a coverage event, but a process the administration has not described is a process that cannot be checked from outside it. And because a further phase of the effort is running now, the questions that follow from the first phase — what put a person on the list, and how they would find out — are being asked after the decisions rather than before them.
