没有ACA资金, 威斯康星州313,579名入学者面临着大幅度的保费上, 医院的压力和接入问题也将加剧. Without ACA funding, Wisconsin’s 313,579 enrollees face steep premium hikes, worsening hospital strain and access issues.

前CMS主任Chiquita Brooks-LaSure和Chris Ford博士警告说,如果没有ACA资金的更新,威斯康星州313,579名ACA受注的近90%将面临从11月开始的大幅度保费上,这将加剧医院已经承受不偿护理负担的压力. Former CMS Director Chiquita Brooks-LaSure and Dr. Chris Ford warned that without renewed ACA funding, nearly 90% of Wisconsin’s 313,579 ACA enrollees would face steep premium hikes starting November, worsening strain on hospitals already burdened by uncompensated care. 他们强调,像威斯康辛这样的没有扩大医疗补助的州尤其脆弱,因为由于缺乏保险,急诊室被可预防的条件所压倒。 They stressed that states like Wisconsin, which haven’t expanded Medicaid, are especially vulnerable, with emergency rooms becoming overwhelmed by preventable conditions due to lack of insurance. 医院的关闭和更长的护理旅行时间已经在减少获得服务的机会,特别是在农村地区。 Hospital closures and longer travel times for care are already reducing access, particularly in rural areas. 两人都敦促国会扩大保费税抵免和保护医疗补助,警告降低保险范围会转移病人费用和危及生命。 Both urged Congress to extend premium tax credits and protect Medicaid, warning that cutting coverage shifts costs to patients and risks lives.
