US EditionJudge Halts Implementation of some Trump Administration Changes that Would Chip Away at Obamacare
US District Judge Brendan Hurson blocked Trump administration changes impacting 1.8 million people, citing lack of authority and potential harm to cities and healthcare quality.
- Friday's decision by Judge Hurson blocks Trump administration changes to the Affordable Care Act set for August 25, as the court found these measures would make enrollment harder and coverage more expensive.
- Hurson agreed with arguments from Democratic-led cities that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services exceeded its authority and wrote the changes would cause significant strain on city services and budgets.
- The decision specifically blocks certain Affordable Care Act provisions that could lead to as many as 1.8 million Americans losing their health insurance, according to court documents.
- With the injunction in place, the Trump administration cannot begin implementing contested measures while Democracy Forward, represented by Skye Perryman, continues pursuing the case and Judge Brendan Hurson stresses strong public interest in maintaining affordable coverage.
- In the broader legal context, the ACA's purpose is to increase coverage and decrease cost, yet defendants conceded the Rule will likely reduce coverage and raise costs, while critics said it aimed to remove people from insurance under a fraud pretense.
