“President-elect Donald Trump never revealed the ‘concepts’ of the plan he said he had to replace the Affordable Care Act, the law that he tried unsuccessfully to kill during his first term,” the New York Times reports.
“But the fact that Republicans have gained control of the Senate — and possibly the House — could give Mr. Trump an opening to try and transform the 2010 health law and remake the nation’s health care system.”
“Key to that strategy, health policy experts said, is simple inaction. Major subsidies that lawmakers approved during President Biden’s term that have lowered the cost of plans are set to expire next year. Republicans could allow them to sunset, a move that could deprive roughly 20 million Americans of extra financial help for coverage on the Affordable Care Act’s marketplaces.”
