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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The introduced bill text is limited to HCFAC funding mechanics and contains no text changing Medicare or Medicaid eligibility rules or reducing benefits, but it has not been enacted or advanced beyond committee referral in the official record reviewed.

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."

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A recent official committee post, just before the lookback window, reiterates the exact no-eligibility-change/no-benefit-cut commitment and describes the bill as an anti-fraud resourcing measure. It is advocacy evidence, not final delivery, because the Act remains pending.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

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.
