Trump's Victory Raises Concerns for Obamacare

The election of Donald Trump and potential Republican control of Congress raises concerns about the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which currently provides health insurance for over 21 million Americans. Significant subsidies, established under the Biden administration's American Rescue Plan and set to expire in 2025, are at risk, with analysts estimating less than a 5% chance of their extension if Republicans dominate both the House and Senate. Trump has expressed intentions to propose alternative healthcare concepts but has yet to provide clear details. Experts warn that without these subsidies, millions could lose coverage, with premium costs potentially increasing by over 75% for many. The ACA's expansion has drastically reduced the uninsured rate, but looming changes could severely impact access to affordable healthcare. As the political landscape evolves, millions are left uncertain about their healthcare security.
