The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)
Impact of ACA on:The Uninsured
# of uninsured reduced from 46 million today to ~26 million in 2019 (most likely even higher due to SCOTUS decision).
Safety net hospital funding through Medicare cut by $36 billion through 2019.

Impact of ACA on:The Underinsured
If you like your current coverage you can keep it.
If you don’t like your current job-based coverage, you HAVE to keep it.
Policies required to cover at least 60% of expected health costs – e.g. $2,000 deductible + 20% co-insurance for next $15,000 of care.
Impact of ACA on:Medical Bankruptcy
No change for 75% of medical bankruptcy filers who have insurance.
Up to 50% reduction among the 25% of the medically bankruptcy who were uninsured in 2007 but will gain coverage under reform.
Maximum expected reduction in medical bankruptcies = 12.5%.
