[1]NNU - Medicare for All!

The incoming Trump administration and Republican control of both the U.S.
House and Senate pose grave threats to our already broken health care
system.

Project 2025, a set of policies put together by right-wing organizations
and supported by GOP leaders including Trump, has been called “a threat to
public health” by the American Public Health Association and a “political
reality that would upend medical practice” by researchers at Boston
University’s School of Public Health’s Center for Health Law, Bioethics &
Human Rights.^1,2

The far-right playbook proposes:

* Unraveling the Affordable Care Act, which would limit or take away
health insurance for millions of people and restore harmful practices
like exclusions based on pre-existing conditions;
* Further rolling back access to reproductive and gender-affirming
health care, including abortion and fertility treatment, while
eliminating LGBTQ+ protections and other diversity, equity, and
inclusion efforts;
* Deregulating the insurance industry and giving these corporations even
more power to provide worse quality care for the sake of higher
profits;
* Undermining public health by doing away with lockdowns, school
closures, and mask and vaccine mandates in the case of pandemics like
Covid-19, and drastically restructuring agencies like the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Center for Disease Control
(CDC).^1

Project 2025 and Republican budget proposals would also undo federal
funding as part of the ACA’s Medicaid expansion, which would put more than
3 million adults in nine states at immediate risk of losing their health
coverage, according to KFF.^3

By gutting Medicaid expansion, many states would then be responsible for
additional costs, and Republicans’ only proposed solution is to create
work requirements for low-income people to qualify for Medicaid
coverage.^4

In addition to putting Medicaid on the chopping block, the Trump
administration plans to further privatize Medicare by making insurance
company-ran plans through Medicare Advantage the default enrollment
option.^5

Health care and economic experts warn the results of these plans will
mean:

❌ More uninsured people
❌ Higher costs for patients
❌ Lower health outcomes
❌ Worse quality of care
❌ Deeper inequities in coverage and care^6

In contrast to Trump and Republicans’ plans to make our country’s health
care even worse than it already is, Medicare for All would do the opposite
and:

✅ Guarantee health care for all
✅ Reduce costs
✅ Improve health outcomes
✅ Provide high-quality care
✅ Reduce health disparities
