Introduced H.R. 9811 amends title XVIII only by increasing funding for the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Account: $7,000,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2030. GovInfo lists Arrington as an original cosponsor and shows referral to Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce.

The House Budget Committee posted Arrington and Moore's op-ed saying the Anti-Fraud Fund Act would add investigators, reviewers, analysts, prosecutors, technology, and interagency coordination. They wrote: "We would not alter anyone's eligibility or reduce a single legitimate benefit."
Assessments
Arrington materially advanced the Anti-Fraud Fund Act as an original cosponsor, and the introduced text appears limited to increasing Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Account funding without changing Medicare or Medicaid eligibility or reducing legitimate benefits. However, as of September 7, 2026, the bill remains pending in committee and has not become law, so the promised final safeguard cannot be counted as fully delivered yet.
