Former President Trump emphasized late Tuesday night that he wants to replace the Affordable Care Act — more commonly known as "ObamaCare" — rather than eliminate it entirely.
“Getting much better Healthcare than Obamacare for the American people will be a priority of the Trump Administration. It is not a matter of cost, it is a matter of HEALTH," he wrote on Truth Social. "America will have one of the best Healthcare Plans anywhere in the world. Right now it has one of the W...

White House takes action against short-term ‘junk’ insurance plans and surprise billing
The Biden administration announced plans on Friday to tamp down on "junk" insurance plans and surprise medical fees as part of the "Bidenomics" agenda and its goal of lowering health care costs for Americans.
Through its newly proposed rules, the White House is aiming to crack down on short-term health plans, or "junk plans" as critics refer to them.
Short-term plans are not required to abide by Affordable Care Act (ACA) protections. These less-expensive plans offer...
Judge strikes down Florida Medicaid policy excluding gender-affirming care
A Florida rule excluding gender-affirming health care from Medicaid coverage is unlawful and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, adding that the policy, which was enacted last year under the administration of Republican Gov. and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, is based on politics rather than medicine.
Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), which controls most of the state’s Medicaid program, in August adopted a rule barring trans...

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the two parties to reach an agreement last week when discussing a potential stay of a lower court's order that blocked the ACA preventive care provision on the basis that it violated a relig...
