Speaking of "keeping Americans safe"
A part of these 3.2M people are going to get sick and a part of these will face serious consequences for not having coverage, like medical debts or even bankruptcies, or avoidable health complications or even death.
Quote:During President Donald Trump’s first year in office, the number of uninsured Americans increased by an estimated 3.2 million. That’s the conclusion of a new Gallup-Sharecare poll, which noted that the uninsured rate in the fourth quarter of 2017—12.2%—is 1.3 percentage points higher than the record low of 10.9% in the final quarter of 2016. That’s the largest single-year increase since Gallup and Sharecare started tracking the uninsured rate in 2008. However, it’s still a lot lower than the 18% high seen in 2013—before the Affordable Care Act’s main insurance market reforms went into effect.Uninsured rate rises during Trump's first year in office | FierceHealthcare
