How Trump Could Weaken the Affordable Care Act

President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House has rekindled the debate over the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the potential for significant changes to the healthcare landscape. With Republicans now in control of both the House and the Senate, there is renewed focus on dismantling or modifying the ACA, commonly referred to as Obamacare.

Trump has been a vocal critic of the ACA for years and has expressed a desire to overhaul the law. His allies in Congress have also signaled their intention to prioritize healthcare reform, citing concerns about the cost and government intervention in healthcare.

The prospect of significant changes to the ACA has raised concerns among healthcare advocates. Sarah Lueck, vice president for health policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, warns that the Republican plans could have far-reaching consequences, including curtailing Medicaid expansion, weakening patient protections, and increasing premium costs for millions of Americans.

While the Republicans have yet to outline specific changes to the ACA, House Speaker Mike Johnson has indicated that a massive reform of the law would be on the agenda. However, enacting such changes would require navigating procedural challenges, as the narrow margins in Congress mean that just a few dissenting voices could derail any reform efforts.

Some of the proposed changes, such as altering the funding formula for Medicaid or allowing ACA subsidies to be used for non-compliant health plans, would likely require congressional approval. However, Trump could also take unilateral action through executive orders to implement certain changes, such as increasing access to non-compliant health plans or curtailing federal funding for ACA outreach programs.

The potential impact of these changes on individuals with ACA plans is a source of concern. Dylan Reed, a small-business owner from Colorado, who relies on his ACA plan to manage his autoimmune disease, worries about the consequences of dismantling the law. Without the protections of the ACA, he fears that finding affordable coverage for his preexisting conditions would be challenging.

As the debate over the future of the ACA continues, it remains to be seen how Trump and the Republicans will proceed with their plans for healthcare reform. The potential changes could have far-reaching implications for millions of Americans who rely on the ACA for access to affordable healthcare.
