Many Hubbub in healthcare this year focus on Medicaid, which faces a dramatically federal financing as a result of the huge budget bill signed by President Donald Trump earlier this month. But now attention is turned into a reasonable prices, which faces some major changes that may cost many consumers health coverage in 2026.
Meanwhile, changes in immigration policy under Trump can have a major impact on the country’s health care system, by exacerbating the shortage of health workers and eliminating insurance coverage that helps to maintain some hospitals and clinics.
The members of this week’s team are Jolly Rovner from KFF Health News, Julie Appleby from KFF Health News, Jessie Helmann from CQ Roll Call and Alice Miranda Olstein from Politico.

Among the fast food from this week’s episode:
- Many Americans can expect health insurance premiums next year, but these price increases may be greater for millions who depend on ACA health plans. To obtain such plans, most consumers rely on reinforced federal government subsidies, which are scheduled to expire – and the Republican party appears to hate to extend them, although many of their voters may lose their insurance as a result.
- Congress included a $ 50 billion in rural health care in the new Trump law, with the aim of expanding medical discounts. But the fund is expected to advance, especially since many people lose health insurance, clinics, hospitals and health systems to cover their bills.
- Abortion opponents continue to demand that birth control pills are not safe, recently by referring to a problematic analysis – and some legislators use them to pressure federal officials to take another look at the drug’s approval. Meanwhile, many family planning clinics are preparing to end federal financing, stripping funds not only from crowded clinics where miscarriage is legal but also from clinics that only provide birth control methods, testing sexually transmitted infections, and other abortion in the states where the procedure is prohibited.
- While more countries carry out laws that enable doctors to cancel the participation in the treatments that violate their morals, a pregnant woman in Tennessee says that her doctor refused to provide care before birth, because she is not married.
Also this week, Ruffenner interviewed Jonathan Oberland, the historian of medical care and professor of health policy at the University of North Carolina, for Mark’s sixtieth anniversary of Midisari later this month.
