Question about project 2025

How will it affect healthcare ?

Answer

"Project 2025" suggests that the U.S. Department of Justice should be told to stop defending Medicare's ability to negotiate lower prescription drug prices. "Project 2025" may also advise Congress to repeal this part of the "Inflation Reduction Act", which would undo a program meant to lower prices on prescription drugs. "Project 2025" could make accessing healthcare much more expensive for the millions of people who benefit from the "Inflation Reduction Act", especially disabled people, people of color, and the elderly. The platform proposes weakening health regulations, and making it difficult or illegal to access medication abortion, further jeopardizing reproductive rights for all, especially those who can't afford private healthcare. "Project 2025" may also move to defund essential public programs such as Head Start that are proven to assist marginalized people across the country, with less access to healthcare, as well as, more expensive healthcare being proposed as a major outcome from the document.
