A list of states that will be hit hardest by Obamacare repeal
As promised, President Donald Trump issued an executive order January 20, just hours after taking the oath of office, that began the process of appealing the Affordable Care Act. Repeal will leave an estimated 18 million uninsured in the first plan year following repeal, then 32 million by 2026, according to official estimates, but the true impact will vary state to state. To find out which states would suffer most, WalletHub analyzed the expected growth in uninsured populations, the presence of Planned Parenthood funding, the potential for lost jobs and economic impact, the growth in uncompensated care costs and the share of insured young adults across all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.
