On Wednesday President Joe Biden is expected to highlight the Trump administration’s renewed effort to shelve the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The effort is a part of the President’s plan to expand health care coverage and lower costs for American families.
The Trump Administration attempted to rollback the ACA through the courts but the Supreme Court ultimately ruled the law was constitutional. In response to the ruling, the Trump Administration began exploring new avenues to undercut the ACA.
The ACA has been a lightning rod of debate since it was signed into law in 2010. The law was meant to expand health care access and affordability for Americans, and protect those with pre-existing conditions who were unable to purchase health care coverage Before the law was passed. Although the law has seen some success in providing access to health care to more people, millions of Americans are still without health coverage.
The Trump Administration’s latest assault on the ACA is through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The CMS is responsible for enforcing numerous rules that affect the ACA. The Trump Administration has proposed a number of changes to the regulations including, granting states broad authority to waive certain parts of the ACA, more protections for insurers from certain types of lawsuits, and allowing insurers to sell cheaper plans that don’t cover pre-existing conditions.
These efforts from the Trump Administration to repeal the ACA could have disastrous consequences if they reach fruition. It could leave millions of Americans without health care coverage and it could lead to higher costs for those with pre-existing conditions.
President Biden is committed to protecting the ACA and will be highlighting the Trump Administration’s efforts to repeal the law. He is also expected to announce a number of initiatives to expand health care coverage and lower costs for American families. These initiatives will include expanding Medicaid, creating more exchanges where individuals can purchase health care coverage, and protecting the ACA’s pre-existing conditions protections.
Biden’s efforts to protect and expand health care coverage are much needed given the Trump Administration’s attempts to undo it. The ACA has been a critical lifeline of health care for millions of Americans and any efforts to repeal it find themselves squarely against the will of the American public.
