US EditionMayors, doctor groups sue over Trump’s efforts to restrict Obamacare enrollment
UNITED STATES, JUL 4 – The lawsuit challenges rules that shorten enrollment, tighten income checks, and reduce subsidies, risking coverage loss for about 2 million Americans, according to plaintiffs.
- A group of Democratic-led cities and healthcare organizations sued the Trump administration on June 25 over new rules restricting Affordable Care Act enrollment.
- The lawsuit opposes a finalized rule that reduces the length of the open enrollment period and eliminates a monthly special enrollment opportunity for low-income individuals beginning in late August.
- Plaintiffs argue the rule will cause nearly 2 million people to lose coverage, raise premiums, and increase costs, disproportionately harming vulnerable communities.
- Officials from the agency overseeing Medicare and Medicaid programs estimate that between 725,000 and 1.8 million individuals might lose coverage under the new rule, which also aims to prevent fraud and curb improper enrollment.
- The legal dispute suggests ongoing uncertainty over ACA rules, with potential impacts on millions of Americans' health insurance access and state healthcare systems.
