The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has introduced new regulations aimed at combating fraud within the Obamacare insurance exchanges, promoting innovation, and enhancing consumer choice. Released on February 9, these proposed rules will enforce stricter eligibility and income verification processes, addressing concerns over improper enrollments that have plagued the system. Authored under President Trump’s administration, the rules seek not only to reduce healthcare costs and premiums but also to ensure accurate consumer information and trust in the insurance marketplaces. Expanding on the consumer choice front, the policy will allow insurers to offer more flexible catastrophic plans, broadening options for a wider range of consumers.
