State-by-State Impact Of The ACA Repeal
The Economic Policy Institute released a state-by-state breakdown of the impact of ACA repeal. For instance, if the ACA were repealed, in Ohio alone 964,000 people would lose their health insurance—an increase of 155 percent—and over 50,000 jobs would be lost.
Repealing the ACA would increase the number of uninsured by 18 million people in the first year, and 32 million by 2026, according to CBO estimates. Premiums for individual plans would increase by 20-25 percent above current projections in the first year and would be roughly double the premiums currently projected for 2026.
If confirmed, Labor Secretary nominee Andrew Puzder will be America’s top watchdog against employer wage theft, which robs workers of more than $50 billion annually. An investigation of DOL data found around 60 percent of Mr. Puzder’s fast food restaurants had Wage and HourDivision violations.
