States that will be hardest hit if ACA subsidies lapse [View all]
If Congress doesn't extend the ACA subsidies health insurance premiums under the ACA will increase dramatically. Those using the ACA can use Medicaid but only in those states that took advantage of expanding Medicaid under the ACA of 2010 and the 2021 American Rescue Act. But not all states expanded Medicaid and now people who rely upon the ACA subsidies will see their ACA premiums more than double. Citizens in 10 states will be hardest hit because they did not expand Medicaid. Below is the list of states and the number of people enrolled in the ACA subsidies and see what they all have in common.
Alabama: 456,972 enrollees
Florida: 4,565,216 enrollees
Georgia: 1,475,623 enrollees
Mississippi: 322,788 enrollees
North Carolina: 924,168 enrollees
South Carolina: 608,325 enrollees
Tennessee: 615,828 enrollees
Texas: 3,814,112 enrollees
Utah: 410,339 enrollees
Wyoming: 45,107 enrollees

All are republican controlled states.
Why republicans don't believe in taking care of their citizens is beyond me.
