Two different but related things are happening now with the ACA. Enhanced tax credits expire this year. If Congress doesn’t extend them, out-of-pocket premiums jump over 75% on average. Insurers expect healthier people to drop coverage. So, they’re also hiking ACA premiums.

I wonder what will happen when the Current Population Survey (done jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau) shows an increase in the number of people without health insurance due to Medicaid and ACA cuts.

Medicare and Medicaid were created 60 years ago today. Medicaid now covers more people than Medicare. But, when we created this timeline for @kff.org's San Francisco headquarters, we couldn't find any news headlines from 1965 that mentioned Medicaid.
