26. Impact of ACA on: The Uninsured # of uninsured reduced from 46 million today to ~26 million in 2019 (most likely even higher due to SCOTUS decision). Safety net hospital funding through Medicare cut by $36 billion through 2019. Community health centers receive extra $1 billion annually

27. Impact of ACA on: The Underinsured If you like your current coverage you can keep it. If you don’t like your current job-based coverage, you HAVE to keep it. Policies required to cover at least 60% of expected health costs – e.g. $2,000 deductible + 20% co-insurance for next $15,000 of care.

28. Impact of ACA on: Medical Bankruptcy No change for 75% of medical bankruptcy filers who have insurance. Up to 50% reduction among the 25% of the medically bankruptcy who were uninsured in 2007 but will gain coverage under reform. Maximum expected reduction in medical bankruptcies = 12.5%.
