Assignment Task:
Many of the changes that have taken effect to private insurance as a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). As you know, the Trump administration is working to repeal and replace the ACA in its entirety. This administration is also making interim changes to pieces of the ACA. See your online reading materials.
If you were part of this administration, what would you get rid of, modify, or implement? Please answer at least one of the following questions:
Choose a provision of the ACA that you would modify or delete. If you would modify it, how? If you would delete it, why? What population would this impact the most? What impact would this change have on the private insurance industry as a whole and consumers of the products?
Tell us what regulatory provision you would add to the private insurance framework. Why? What population would this impact the most? What impact would this change have on the private insurance industry as a whole and consumers of the products?
If you had to identify one of the ACA provisions as "most impactful" which one would it be? Explain why you believe that provision is most impactful on those needing healthcare coverage. Or explain from a policy perspective why that provision is most impactful on the economy as a whole.
