The USA PotatoSome Adults Are Delaying Treatment Until Medicare Following ACA Subsidy Loss
People nearing retirement age have experienced some of the largest price increases for Affordable Care Act plans.
Liam O'Mara IV, PhDThe #AffordableCareAct, often called #Obamacare, became law on #ThisDayInHistory in 2010. Far from bringing #UniversalHealthCare to the US, and dropping the "public option" promised to voters, the ACA is a pro-corporate act that increased policy-holders but failed to lower costs.
Bich Nguyen"In some ways, EHBs save money because they’ve increased access to preventive care, said Gerard Anderson, a professor of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Services such as cancer screenings and lab tests can lead to earlier detection of serious conditions, when treatment is less costly, and positive outcomes are more likely."

Evidence Shows ACA’s Mandated Benefits Alone Don’t Drive Up Costs. The Debate Continues. - KFF Health News
The Affordable Care Act put in place a package of benefits that health insurance plans must cover. Critics contend this mandate has jacked up premiums. Evidence supporting that claim is mixed.
"Trump issued those broadsides to explain why he didn’t support an extension of government subsidies that made Obamacare plans more affordable for millions. Those subsidies have now expired, sending premiums soaring. But Trump has continued to support a 2019 rule issued in his first term that allowed states to offer tax credits to businesses that help employees enroll in Obamacare plans."

None of #Biden policy "wins" are durable because of his failure to punish #Trump. He protected Trump just as #GOP would have, and does:

"With Floridians facing higher premiums and dropped coverage for Obamacare plans, due to uncertainty around the Affordable Care Act marketplace, Volk said cost-sharing plans could become more popular — but with consequences.
Research from the Commonwealth Fund shows religious, cost-sharing plans have fewer consumer protections because they are largely unregulated and do not guarantee payment of claims."

"Although Obamacare sign-ups have fallen significantly this year over skyrocketing monthly premiums, Dr. Mehmet Oz believes enrollment is still too high. Oz, the Trump administration’s top official overseeing the Affordable Care Act, told NBC News that millions of people may be fraudulently enrolled or eligible for other types of coverage."
