A New Era for the ACA

Open enrollment for 2027 Affordable Care Act plans begins Nov. 1 in most states, with consumers facing higher out-of-pocket costs and more bureaucratic hurdles. Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress are laying out plans for an aggressive health policy agenda should they win majorities in the House and/or the Senate. With President Donald Trump in office, however, it’s unclear whether any of their legislative efforts could become law in the next two years. This week’s panelists are Julie Rovner of KFF Health News, Julie Appleby of KFF Health News, Anna Edney of Bloomberg News, and Victoria Knight of Bloomberg Government.
