Skinny Repeal Bill Would Raise Average Premiums by $1,238 and Increase Uninsured By Emily Gee and Thomas Huelskoetter The Senate just took the initial vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act, although nobody, including the senators themselves, know which bill will be up for a final vote. Reportedly the options for consideration include a previously-unseen "skinny" version of ACA repeal that would only include a repeal of the coverage mandates and the medical device tax. But this skinny repeal bill, if passed, would still have negative effects on health insurance coverage. It would also discourage issuer participation in the individual market and increase the average marketplace premium by $1,238 next year. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that repeal of the individual mandate would result in 15 million fewer Americans having health insurance? a decade from now. By 2026, about 15 percent of the nonelderly population, or 43 million Americans, would be uninsured. td more How Medicaid Cuts Would Hurt People of Color: A State-by-State Breakdown By Michele L Jawando and Connor Maxwell A new Center for American Progress analysis finds that approximately 8.7 million people of color would lose Medicaid coverage by 2026 under the Senate health care plan.
