Millions of Americans Face Loss of Health Insurance in Potential Recession Scenario
A new White House study warns that up to 9 million more Americans could lose health insurance in the event of a major recession if a Trump budget bill fails. The study estimates an additional 8.2-9.2 million people without coverage would result from such a scenario.
The White House has released a study warning that 9 million Americans could lose health insurance in the event of a 'major' recession if President Trump's budget bill fails, citing an estimated 8.2 to 9.2 million people at risk of losing coverage. The report suggests that an economic downturn would exacerbate existing health care disparities and leave vulnerable populations without access to affordable care. If the budget bill is not passed, it could lead to widespread job losses, reduced income, and increased reliance on government assistance programs. The study highlights the potential devastating impact on Americans' health insurance coverage in such a scenario.
