Miyami – The lawmakers of the Republican Party in the ten countries that refused to expand the sponsorship law at reasonable prices for more than a decade have argued that their conservative approaches to the growing government programs will take their fruits in the long run.

Instead, the budget law that extends to the Republicans, which includes many priorities of President Donald Trump, will be at least a great burden on patients and hospitals in the expansion states, as in the forty states that extended the coverage of medical aid to more low -income adults, executives in hospitals and other officials.

For example, Georgia, with a population of more than 11 million people, will witness that many people lose the insurance coverage that is sold through the ACA markets as Will California, with more than three times the population, According to KFF estimatesIt is a non -profit health information that includes KFF Health News.

The new law imposes additional papers requirements on OBAMACARE registrar, transmits the time they own each year to register, and cuts the financing to the mills who help them shopping for plans. It is expected that these changes, all of which will erode enrollment, will have a much greater effect in states such as Florida and Texas more than California because a higher percentage of population in non -expansion states is registered in ACA plans.

The budget law, which the Republicans called a “beautiful, beautiful bill”, will lead to comprehensive changes in health care throughout the country, as federal spending on Medicaid is destroyed by more than $ 1 trillion during the next decade. The program covers more than 71 million people with low income and disability. Ten million people will lose coverage over the next decade due to the law, according to non -party Congress Budget Office.

Many of its provisions focus on the forty states that expanded Medicaid under ACA, which added millions of adults with low income to the menus. But the consequences are not limited to those countries. A suggestion from conservatives to reduce more generous federal payments for people who have been added to Medicaid through the expansion of ACA has not entered the law.

“Politicians in the unexpected countries should be angry at that,” said Michael Canon, director of health policy studies at the Cato Institute, a Libertari research tank.

The number of people who lose coverage in non -expansion states can accelerate if the federal subsidies reinforced OBAMACARE plans at the end of the year, which increases insurance premiums in January and in addition to Unlikely. KFF estimates up to 2.2 million people who can become only not believers in Florida, a mandate in which legislators have refused to expand Medicaid, and as a result, now, now, now. The nation leads to join ACA.

For people like François Cham from Miami, who has Obama coverage, changes in the Republic of Republic can be a change of life.

Before she had insurance, my 62 -year -old single mother said she would donate blood just to examine cholesterol. Once a year, she was proud of the family planning exam. She expects to get about 28,000 dollars this year and currently pays about $ 100 per month for the ACA plan to cover herself and her daughter, and even this attracts her budget.

Sham suffocated the description of the “safety network” that he was granted to her health insurance – and the possibility of inability to withstand coverage costs if installments rise at the end of the year.

She said, “Obamakari was the savior.”

If the improved ACA benefits are not extended, “everyone will be hit hard,” Cindy ManManatt Health Health Policy expert, advisory and legal company, and a former deputy official for Medicare & Medicaid service centers.

She said: “But the country that has not expanded Medicaid will be offered to people in the market who record low income levels,” she said. “Therefore, a greater share of the population depends on the market.”

Although the Republican Party legislators may try to reduce more civilian this year, the states that have expanded at the present time seem to have made a smart decision, while countries that do not face similar financial pressure without any aspect ascending.

KFF Health News contacted the ten state rulers that did not fully expand Medicaid to see if budget legislation has made them regret this decision or made them more open to expansion. Republican ruler Henry McMaster spokesperson from South Carolina and Republican Governor Brian Kemp from Georgia did not refer to whether their states were considering expanding medical aid.

Brandon Chartrochk, a spokesman for the McMaster Office, said that the Midikid program in South Carolina focuses on “children, low -income families and disabled individuals,” adding, “The state program in the state does not expect a major impact on the medical aid of the agency.”

The joining of the ACA market plans has doubled more than twice since 2020 to 24.3 million. If the reinforced subsidies are valid, Obamacare coverage installments rise More than 75 % on average, according to the analysis by KFF. Some insurance companies already indicate They are planning to charge more.

The Central Bank of Oman estimates that allowing enhanced subsidies for expiration Increase the number of people Without healthy insurance by 4.2 million by 2034, compared to a permanent extension. This will come at the top of the coverage losses resulting from the Trump Budget Law.

“This is a problem and frightening for us,” said Eric Polly, president of the Wyoming Hospital Association.

He said that his mandate, which did not expand Medicaid, has a relatively few population and was not the most attractive to insurance service providers – a few companies are currently offering plans to exchange ACA – and he is concerned about any increase in the uninterrupted rate “the insurance market will collapse.”

Since the average insured is rising in non -expansion states and medicaid discounts in the budget law, lawmakers say that government funds will not raise the patent for federal dollars, including the states that refused to expand Medicaid.

Grace Huj, the press secretary of the governor of Kansas State, Laura Kelly, a democracy that prefers the expansion of Medikid, who was rejected by the Republican Party legislators, said these states have obtained somewhat favorable treatment under the law, but they are not enough.

“The Canzan’s ability to reach health care at reasonable prices will be damaged,” Hoog said in an email. “Kansas, nor our rural hospitals, will not be able to compensate for these cuts.”

For hospital leaders in other states that refused to fully expand in Medicaid, the budget law presents another test by reducing the financing arrangements that have been used to pay the highest medicaid payments for doctors and hospitals.

Starting in 2028, the law will reduce these payments by 10 percentage points each year so that it is closer to what Medicare pays.

Richard Roberson, president of the Mississippi Hospital Association, said that the state’s use of the so -called payments in 2023 helped to raise its payment to hospitals and other health institutions from $ 500 million annually to $ 1.5 billion annually. He said at higher rates helped Mississippi Hospitals to stay open.

“This payment program was just a lifeline,” Roberson said.

The budget law includes a $ 50 billion fund aimed at isolating hospitals and rural clinics for its changes in Medicaid and ACA. but KFF analysis I found that only about a third of the cuts to medical aid in rural areas will be compensated.

Trump Florida, Tennessee and Texas encouraged the refusal to expand Madikid in his first term, when his administration gave them an extraordinary extension for 10 years of financing programs known as uneven care complexes, which generate billions of dollars to push the center for budget and dodging policy.

She said: “It was clear that these were a decision from the first Trump administration saying:” You get a lot of money for an incomplete care complex instead of expanding the medicaid scope. “

These funds are not affected by the new Trump Law on spending. But they do not help patients in the way that will cover insurance. “This pays hospitals, but it does not give people health care,” she said. “It does not give people prevention.”

The states such as Florida, Georgia and Mississippi have not rejected the additional federal financing brought by the expansion of medical aid, but most of the remaining remaining states spend less than the national average of every Medicaid registrar, and provides fewer generous or less benefits, and cover less groups of low -income Americans.

Mary May, President of the Florida Hospital Association, said the state’s Medicaid program does not cover children, the elderly and persons with disabilities because the payment rates are very low.

She said: “Children do not have time access to dentists.” “Pregnant mothers cannot reach a place near OB-GYN. We have been turned on the work and delivery units in Florida.”

She said that the law will cost countries more in the long run.

Mayo said: “The results of the health care of the individuals we serve will deteriorate.” “This will lead to a high cost, more spending, and more dependence on the emergency department.”
