Does Project 2025 call for repealing the Affordable Care Act?
The Project 2025 national conservative policy plan does not directly call for repealing the Affordable Care Act.
Campaigning in Milwaukee in connection with the Democratic National Convention, Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz claimed it does.
Project 2025 was launched in 2022 by the Heritage Foundation think tank. It includes a 920-page “Mandate for Leadership” plan.
The plan got help from 140 people who worked in former President Donald Trump’s administration, CNN reported.
The Affordable Care Act is a health care reform law that provides health insurance subsidies.
The plan calls for separating the subsidized and unsubsidized health insurance markets, saying that would make coverage more affordable in the nonsubsidized market.
Physicians for a National Health Program, which advocates for universal health care, says the change would eliminate certain patient protections.
The plan also calls for excluding the morning-after pill and men’s contraceptives from coverage mandated under the law.
