  • In a move that has significant implications for millions of Americans, President Donald Trump has issued a series of executive orders, some of which target the healthcare marketplace. These changes are expected to affect the enrollment process and medical insurance coverage for an estimated 24 million people.

The article from MSN discusses changes to health care enrollment under the Trump administration, impacting approximately 24 million people. These changes primarily affect the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces. Key points include the reduction in the open enrollment period from 90 days to 45 days, the elimination of the individual mandate penalty starting in 2019, and the expansion of short-term, limited-duration insurance plans which offer fewer benefits and can discriminate based on pre-existing conditions. These modifications have led to concerns about the stability of the ACA marketplaces, with potential increases in premiums for those with pre-existing conditions and a possible reduction in comprehensive health coverage options. The changes aim to provide more "choice" and "freedom" in health care, but critics argue they undermine the ACA's protections and could lead to higher costs and less coverage for many Americans.
