The Affordable Care Act has significantly reduced racial disparities in healthcare access, report

[C_Clayton_Jones]

'The Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010 by former President Barack Obama, has expanded health insurance coverage across the U.S. and significantly reduced racial and ethnic disparities in access to healthcare, according to a new report by the Commonwealth Fund.

"Since its passage in 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has helped cut the U.S. uninsured rate nearly in half while significantly reducing racial and ethnic disparities in both insurance coverage and access to care — particularly in states that expanded their Medicaid programs," reads the report.

Data shows that prior to the 2013 implementation of the Medicaid expansion — a provision of the ACA that made more families eligible for Medicaid coverage — 40.2% of the Hispanic population, 24.4% of the Black population, and 14.5% of the White population were uninsured in America. However, by 2021, those numbers dropped significantly to 24.5%, 13.5%, and 8.2%, respectively.

With more than five million people gaining coverage between 2020 and 2022 over the course of the pandemic, the overall uninsured rate in the U.S. dropped to just 8%, a historic low, according to the report.'

The PPACA was, and still is, a disaster.
Thank god the individual mandate was struck down.
The federal government has no constitutional authority over healthcare.

Yeah...it was great. It tripled my premiums and cut my coverage at least by half.
They've also been using it to give free health care to illegals, which we all have to pay for.

I don't recall Obama in any of his speeches state the TRUTH that you have just stated yourself above. The "Affordable" Care Act was nothing more than an enormous expansion of MEDICAID that was going to INCREASE the costs of health care for those who actually PAY for health care. I don't remember that Clayton, can you provide me a link where Obama said that? HMMMMMM???

 

[JGalt]

Ok. So there are more minorities sucking on the free government healthcare tittie.

Hey, I have an idea! Let's invite 50 million illegals into this country and give them some free government healthcare too! Wheeee!

My doc told me that ever since Virginia (under the dems) expanded Medicaid under the ACA appointment lag times have increased by at least 1/3rd.

As a example my wife's doctor was concerned about something and he wanted her to see a specialist about it....The wait time was 2.50 months to get a appointment. Lucky it turned out to be fine but damn.

We have what could be called "a gold plan" yet we have to get in line behind the deadbeats on Medicaid.
