The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), under the Trump administration, is set to allow the introduction of less comprehensive health insurance plans on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges.
These new plans are anticipated to provide fewer benefits, potentially leaving patients responsible for a greater share of their health care expenses.
As this policy unfolds, there are concerns regarding its impact on access to necessary medical services and the overall affordability of health care for consumers.
