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 care⁶

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

As we await the inauguration of Trump and the swearing-in of the new Republican-majority Congress in January, we remain committed to keep up the fight for guaranteed health care through Medicare for All. If you’re with us, add your name here →

Together, we will fight back against the GOP’s threats to our health care while building the momentum to pass Medicare for All.
