Without ACA funding, Wisconsin’s 313,579 enrollees face steep premium hikes, worsening hospital strain and access issues.
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.
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.
Hospital closures and longer travel times for care are already reducing access, particularly in rural areas.
Both urged Congress to extend premium tax credits and protect Medicaid, warning that cutting coverage shifts costs to patients and risks lives.
