Today In Trump's America:
"Hospitals nationwide are reporting a sharp rise in uninsured patients, driven by the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies for Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plans.
This drop in coverage has led to an estimated 3 million fewer people enrolled in marketplace plans, forcing more patients to seek costly emergency room care without insurance."
"Emergency rooms are seeing up to a 20% surge in uninsured visits as people delay preventive care until conditions become severe."
"Hospitals also found that patients were forgoing or postponing lucrative elective surgeries like knee replacements in recent months."
"People are paying significantly more for a plan in 2026, on average"
"What that tells me is that there are patients who are completely unable to pay," said Laura Kaiser, the CEO of SSM Health, a nonprofit Catholic hospital group.
"We’re really crushing people who are desperately trying to pay their bills."
So much winning.
