\"ElectionThe current presidential campaign is big news, but how might the upcoming election affect the NC health insurance <\/a>market?\u00a0 As might be expected, the two presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, have very different ideas when it comes to healthcare policies, leaving many\u00a0North Carolinians\u00a0as well as other Americans\u00a0wondering what might happen to their health insurance in the months to come.<\/p>\n

Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has\u00a0promised that should she win, she will work to improve the ACA markets by offering additional subsidies to offset the cost of health insurance as well as increase enrollment through aggressive marketing.\u00a0 She has also suggested that she intends to pursue a public option on the federal Exchange, but many argue this would be a tough sell to Congress, even if the Democratic party takes control.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has made it clear that he intends to shrink, though likely not completely abolish,\u00a0the Affordable Care Act considerably.\u00a0 Ending the individual mandate, eliminating ACA reforms such as minimal essential benefits and restructuring federal subsidies are a few of the ways he would likely begin.\u00a0 Most experts agree that abolishing the Affordable Care Act would be a near impossibility\u00a0now that millions of Americans are insured under ACA plans; however, under\u00a0a Trump administration\u00a0Americans would probably\u00a0see a substantial\u00a0overhaul of the current law.<\/p>\n

With the presidential campaign in full-swing, one thing is for certain.\u00a0 The Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare<\/a>,” is a hot topic and one that many Americans say is at the top of their list in terms of policy concerns for 2017.\u00a0 At NC Health Plans<\/a>, our goal is to help the residents of North Carolina navigate the ever-changing health insurance market and we will continue to do so whatever changes may come in 2017.\u00a0 We make it our business to stay up-to-date on market changes as well as federal laws affecting health insurance, and strive to give our customers the information and tools needed to choose and enroll a health insurance plan with confidence and ease.<\/p>\n
