While President Donald Trump and Republicans decided to wait until after 2020 to attempt Trump’s campaign promise of comprehensive health care reform, Americans remain worried as ever about the availability and affordability of health care.
‘The system is absolutely broken’“We’re not surprised at all,” Frederick Isasi, executive director of Families USA, told Yahoo Finance. “We’ve been hearing a lot from our state leaders, consumer leaders, and from the public about this, and the statistics are pretty startling. Over the last 40 years, we’ve seen a six-fold increase adjusting from inflation. We’re spending six times more as a country on health care than we did 40 years ago.
“My sense is that [the ACA] had some impact, but … not major,” David Cutler, a professor of economics at Harvard University, told Yahoo Finance. “Two sorts of people got cover: One is people who were on Medicaid, and those people really have significant needs, have their bills covered, and are probably less concerned; and then, there are the people who are in the insurance exchanges, and those folks now have insurance. They may not go bankrupt, but their deductibles are still very high.
Trump has long made promises on health care: He vowed to repeal and replace Obamacare on his first day in office, and he tweeted on April 1: “The Republican Party will be known as the Party of Great HealtCare” [sic]. The president backed away from the topic after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said it wouldn’t happen until at least after the 2020 election.
“We have a system of health care that has a lot of support from the government,” Isasi said. “We have things like Medicare, Medicaid, children’s insurance programs supported through the ACA, so there’s a lot of government involved in health care.”
