The New York Times: Pros and Cons of Obamacare After 10 Years
- It’s greatly expanded coverage: 20 million more people have health insurance
- including preventive care.
- Increased Coverage: Medicaid enrollment increased by about 13 million
- or 34 percent
- in the so-called expansion states between 2013 and 2019.
- It hasn’t curbed costs enough: Health care remains unaffordable for many middle-class people
- who don’t qualify for Medicaid or federal subsidies to help buy an individual policy.
- It’s saved lives: A recent series of studies has made clear to researchers that Obamacare really did make people healthier.
- It’s made insurers richer: In the most recent period of 2019
- companies took in enough money to have 25 cents left over from every dollar collected in premiums.
- Obamacare's biggest flaw: Surveys of health law enrollees show that the deductibles are patients’ biggest struggle
- and health care costs have grown relentlessly.
