Not only is the open enrollment window quickly closing, but those concerned about the future of their healthcare also have to take a heated election year into consideration. No matter what party you vote for, the end results of who wins will impact how health insurance operates.
Here’s a broad look at how the election results could impact your future health insurance plans, how each side approaches healthcare, and what you can do now with our Texas Health insurance brokerage to ensure that your health is covered going into 2021!
How Does Each Side View Health Insurance?
Whether Democratic or Republican, both Presidential candidates have two vastly different approaches to the future of healthcare.
Currently, President Donald Trump’s goal is to repeal the Affordable Care Act that currently supports Obamacare. He has said that he has an improved healthcare plan in the works that would be a “far cheaper alternative” if the Supreme Court approves the repeal.
Former Vice President, Joe Biden, Trump’s Democratic opponent, wants to enhance and expand the reaches of the ACA. Biden’s goal with the ACA enhancements is to help middle-class families easily obtain healthcare with:
- Lower cost of coverage
- Lower deductibles
- Lower out-of-pocket expenses
Of course, different views come with different consequences for voters depending on who wins the Presidency.
Access to Healthcare Can Change
However, depending on the outcome, as it stands, without an official plan in place that guarantees coverage, if the ACA is repealed, millions of people will either have increased coverage costs or lose coverage altogether.
Keep in mind that the President signed an executive order in August that was meant to help rural Americans get the healthcare access they need. However, until this order becomes official law, voters are still left in the shadows wondering where they stand on access to great and affordable healthcare plans.
The Federal Tax Penalty Could Return
If Biden becomes President, he has sworn to bring back the Federal Tax Penalty that originated from the ACA for people who purchased off-market plans or had no health insurance at all. These funds would go to cover the costs of making health insurance more affordable, however, the penalty has been a heated debate amongst citizens since the ACA took root in our economy.
