Rising health care costs force Americans to drop coverage, cut hours, or face unaffordable premiums, worsened by federal inaction and a stalled ACA subsidy extension.
Americans nationwide, including in North Dakota, are facing severe financial pressure from rapidly rising health care and insurance costs, forcing families to drop coverage, businesses to cut hours or avoid hiring, and local governments to grapple with unsustainable payroll expenses despite a 3% spending cap on property tax relief.
Some counties seek exemptions to the cap, risking budget instability, while individuals report premiums exceeding $24,000 annually.
Federal inaction, including the failure to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies and a recent government shutdown over the issue, has deepened the crisis, leaving many feeling abandoned by leaders who have yet to deliver lasting solutions.
