Question about project 2025

How will project 2025 affect health insurance

Answer

The platform outlines a variety of harmful proposals aimed at changing health insurance policies in America. For instance, the platform proposes shifting Americans towards Medicare Advantage plans, which research suggests often end up disadvantaging both hospitals and patients. It could potentially create a country where healthcare and insurance is more costly and less effective. Furthermore, they are likely to remove protection enacted post-Dobbs, that have been put in place to shield information about women seeking healthcare related to abortion. This could put a tremendous amount of strain on hospitals and doctor's offices in the area, and place individuals seeking abortion care at higher risk of attack and harm. The plan outlines attacks on medication abortion as well, by suggesting making it much more difficult for women to access. This could even go as far as removing it entirely from availability and making it impossible to purchase. They could use agencies like the EPA to classify these medications as "forever chemicals" as well, further making them dangerous and harder to access for women seeking the procedure. The plan aims to limit healthcare options, while removing safeguards on medical records and pushing for more conservative ideas.
