Among those who have addressed the topic is ex-PresidentDonald Trump, who is seeking a second term this year.
Heres how the ex-presidentselection win could affect medical debt.
Everybodys got to be covered, Trump said at the time.
This is an un-Republican thing for me to say, but …
I am going to take care of everybody.
I dont care if it costs me votes or not.
Among the highlights:
As president, Trump did take some steps to lower healthcare costs.
He approved rules allowing the importation ofcheaper drugsfrom Canada and other countries, NPR reported.
The problem was that not many countries were willing to sell their drugs here.
It was later implemented by President Joe Biden.
ACA marketplace open enrollment fell every year from 2016 to 2020.
He raised the prospect that health insurance could become more costly should Trump win re-election.
That in turn could lead to a rise in medical debt.
It could also lead to reduced protections for those with pre-existing conditions.
