US EditionGroup of Cities Sues Trump Administration over New Changes to Obamacare Enrollment and Eligibility
- On June 25, a group of Democratic-led cities including Columbus, Chicago, and Baltimore filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging new federal ACA enrollment rules finalized that day.
- The lawsuit argues that the new rules, which shorten open enrollment and end special enrollment for low-income individuals, will make coverage harder to obtain and increase premiums.
- Health and Human Services officials argue that the rule helps close fraud gaps, enhances regulatory oversight, and guarantees that subsidies are allocated only to qualified individuals, thereby promoting a more stable insurance marketplace.
- Government estimates suggest the rule could lead to between 725,000 and 1.8 million individuals losing health insurance, while those challenging the rule in court warn the number affected may be as high as 2.2 million Americans.
- The lawsuit and rule changes imply increased uninsured rates may raise uncompensated care costs for local health departments and hospitals, shifting burdens to taxpayers and vulnerable populations.
