Hospitals, doctors, and other medical providers will lose more than $ 32 billion in revenues next year if the Republicans leading to the tax credits of those who have individual coverage under the Care Law at reasonable prices, according to a new analysis.
The subsidies, or tax credits, make health insurance premiums more affordable for individuals and have been strengthened by the Biden and Congress -controlled Congress in 2021, allowing more Americans to buy coverage. The improved subsidies, which ended at the end of this year, helped join the individual coverage of ACA, also known as Obamacare, helped standard 24 million Americans and help its popularity at the highest levels ever.
But the legislation sitting in front of Congress would extend tax credits have not yet passed the US House of Representatives or the US Senate. Tax credits are the main issue of Democrats and may lead to the closure of the federal government if Republicans and Democrats do not receive an agreement on the future of enhanced subsidies.
Meanwhile, medical care providers are preparing for a significant loss of revenue, according to researchers at the Urban Institute, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
In addition to 32 billion dollars in the income lost in 2026, hospitals will also witness an increase of $ 7.7 billion in “modified care”, which are the services that medical care providers must provide but not compensated by private and private insurance companies.
“The negative effects of allowing these tax credits cannot be a tougher end.”
“Millions of people will lose coverage, and service providers will face one punch from loss of revenue and unequal care.” “Often health care institutions are the economic engines of entire societies. If the credits are over, the effects of ripples will be feeling for years to come.”
The Urban Institute’s report is the latest that shows the influence on medical care providers and patients who have benefited from the premium premium premiums.
An analysis earlier this month from KFF says that those registered in the “Benchmark” plans that have been sold in ACA operations that currently have improved tax credits get significant discounts in their installments. Take, for example, registrants “earn more than 400 % of poverty ($ 106,600 for a three -year -old family in 2026),” KFF cited an example in his analysis. These families “will not spend more than 8.5 % of their income in external installments for standard plans.”
“Without improved tax credits, these registrants will witness a “double sensation” in cost increases, and not only the loss of all available financial assistance through distinguished tax credits but they also need to cover insurance companies in the market that is planning for the next year, “KF wrote in its analysis.
