NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2017 -- The Trump administration and the new Congress have both promised that they will repeal the Affordable Care Act in 2017, but what will that mean for patients across the country? When it was enacted in 2010 the Affordable Care Act (ACA) ushered in sweeping changes to the health insurance industry while also greatly decreasing the number of people without insurance in our country. If the law is repealed, how will it impact patients who gained insurance, or whose insurance was improved, under the ACA?
