Findings in Insurance Reported from Lehigh University (The State of American Health Coverage: the 2022 Elections and the Affordable Care Act): Insurance

2023 NOV 21 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health Policy and Law Daily -- Research findings on Insurance are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) was the most significant policy breakthrough to expand health insurance coverage in the USA in 45 years. Culminating a decade-long effort by Republicans to repeal and undermine the ACA, the Trump administration launched a panoply of executive initiatives to sabotage the law.”

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Lehigh University, “Benefitting from Democratic control of both the House and Senate during its first 2 years, the Biden administration through legislative and executive initiatives made substantial headway in reversing Trump’s sabotage and further reinvigorating the ACA. The 2022 elections witnessed a shift in the partisan milieu. Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives; Democrats scored modest gains in state elections.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Emphasising two pivotal features of American governance - federalism and the outsized role of the courts - this essay examines the implications of this new partisan context for Biden’s efforts to bolster ACA durability prior to the 2024 presidential election.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
