Trump could target Affordable Care Act, Medicaid for cuts, experts say

The article from MSN discusses the potential implications of Donald Trump's possible return to the presidency on healthcare policies, particularly concerning the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicaid. Experts suggest that Trump might target these programs for cuts or significant changes. During his previous term, Trump and Republican lawmakers attempted to repeal and replace the ACA but failed. Now, there's speculation that he might seek to reduce funding for Medicaid, which expanded under the ACA, potentially affecting millions of low-income Americans. Additionally, Trump has criticized the ACA's high costs and promised to make healthcare more affordable, possibly through different means like block grants or per capita caps for Medicaid. This could lead to reduced coverage or benefits for many, although specifics on how these changes would be implemented remain unclear.
