The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently released a prospective analysis on the outcome of repealing the Affordable Care Act. Here are some key findings from the report:
·
ACA repeal would
increase the number of uninsured people by 24 million by 2021, or 81%.
·
81% of those losing
coverage would be in working families, and 40% would be young adults.
·
There would be 14.5
million fewer people with Medicaid coverage in 2021.
·
9.4 million people who
would have received tax credits for private coverage would receive no
assistance.
·
State spending would
increase by $68.5 billion between 2017 and 2026.
·
ACA repeal would
reduce federal spending on health care for the nonelderly by $90.9 billion in
2021.
