DREAMers are undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and have grown up in the country. A new lawsuit threatens their access to health care.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a cornerstone of healthcare policy in the United States. Over the years it has undergone significant changes, from expanding Medicaid in many states to increased subsidies to reduce premium costs. As the healthcare landscape evolves under the second Trump administration, new policies, challenges, and potential repeals will continue to shape the ACA.
A new presidential administration often brings shifts in health care policy, and Medicaid is no exception. As one of the largest health programs in the United States, Medicaid provides critical coverage to millions of low-income families, seniors, people with disabilities, and children. Polling data demonstrates that a huge number, two thirds of Americans, have a connection to Medicaid. Understanding the direction the Trump administration is taking on Medicaid is essential to protect and expand universal health care.
