At least 20 million Americans will face significant increases in health insurance premiums and nearly five million Americans will be uninsured by 2027, including at least one million Latinos, according to various analyses.

“Latino families wanted a government that would reduce their costs and expand access to healthcare, but instead they got an agenda that increased their premiums by thousands of dollars to fund tax breaks for the wealthiest executives,” Morales said.

Higher Costs

In an interview, Jose Fernandez, former Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment at the State Department, noted that the main concern about the U.S. economy is the increase in health insurance costs.

“I’m worried about the issue of healthcare,” he said, acknowledging that while the U.S. is the richest country in the world, there are millions of people who cannot access medical services.

“People can’t go to the doctor because they have to eat and feed their children. It’s something that shouldn’t be happening,” he said, while defending the programs that provided coverage to millions of people.

He noted that a basic health insurance premium will increase by thousands of dollars that people “can’t "They'll be able to pay for them."

"We're going to see people in the emergency room, and we're going to see people who, when they go to the doctor, are going to have a very large debt. That worries me," he said.

Is the electoral reality hitting Republicans?

The cost of living is one of the biggest concerns for voters in general, including Latinos, according to a recent poll by this newspaper, where 80% mentioned the economy and prices as a top priority.

Republicans appear to be trying to lie to voters about the tax law that doesn't include support for affordable health insurance, since in Pennsylvania, in the race for the 7th federal district, one of the most competitive, Republican Ryan Mackenzie is facing several Democrats.

The American Prosperity Alliance, an organization affiliated with former Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, launched a campaign claiming there are no cuts to Medicaid, despite the fact that Republicans They rejected the grants and did not endorse a recent bill to extend them.

The ad also claims that the so-called “Great and Beautiful Act” incentivizes states “to prioritize care for the needy, including low-income children and seniors, and establishes work requirements for able-bodied adults in order to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse,” accusing the government of wasteful spending.

The ad ends by asking viewers to call Mackenzie and thank her for “strengthening Medicaid,” and although the campaign is not directly connected to Mackenzie, it shows how Republican allies might try to mislead voters about their decisions in Congress.
