Hospitals and physicians are having a hard time grasping how the Affordable Care Act can be repealed by the Trump administration without a plan to replace or continue coverage for the nearly 20 million Americans who are now insured on the exchanges or through Medicaid expansion in 31 states and the District of Columbia.
“It’s our hope that, with the election behind us, our newly elected leaders in Washington will come together to ensure 100% access and 100% affordable coverage for every American,” said Ascension CEO Anthony Tersigni.St. Louis-based Ascension is the nation’s largest not-for-profit hospital system with about $20.5 billion in revenue.
