The reality of Medicaid cuts and medical debt in America

When Donald Trump signed Congress’s budget bill in July, cuts to Medicaid made major headlines, since the bill meant that 10 million people would lose their coverage through the program.

And insurance as a whole is about to get much more expensive. With Affordable Care Act subsidies expiring and Congress’s budget cuts to other medical funding, people who use Healthcare.gov for their insurance will see premiums increase by up to seventy-five percent.¹

In reality, nearly 20 million people will lose coverage due to unaffordable premiums. And when people go without insurance, that makes coverage – and healthcare in general – more expensive for the rest of us.

Healthcare isn’t a luxury, and no one should have to go into debt to treat illness. On Tuesday, August 26 at 7:30pm ET, Dr. Doug Robinson of Health Care Justice NC will break down the state of healthcare in America and how we can fight for a system that works for everyone.

Healthcare is already too expensive in the first place.

Medical bills are a huge expense for American households. The average person in the U.S. spends $1,425 on out of pocket costs annually, and that’s after an average of $8,951 per year for insurance premiums. The average Canadian spends $904 – total.²

That’s why more than 4 in 10 Americans carry medical debt right now.³ And it’s about to get worse.

But it doesn’t have to be this way! We’ll talk with Dr. Robinson about why healthcare is so expensive, how new legislation will raise prices – and what the solution is.

Join us on Tuesday and learn how we can all fight for a healthcare system that works for all of us!
