Trump and Vance's Healthcare Plan Sparks Concern Over Pre-Existing Conditions
Their proposal to revive high-risk pools could lead to higher costs and limited coverage for millions of Americans.
- Donald Trump and JD Vance propose a healthcare reform that includes the revival of high-risk pools for individuals with pre-existing conditions.
- Critics argue that this approach would result in higher premiums and deductibles for sicker individuals, making healthcare less affordable.
- The plan could reintroduce issues from the pre-ACA era, such as lifetime limits on coverage and exclusions for pre-existing conditions.
- Advocates worry that the proposed deregulation would primarily benefit insurance companies by allowing them to charge more and cover less.
- The Affordable Care Act currently protects 129 million Americans with chronic illnesses, and its potential dismantling raises significant public health concerns.
