Since the beginning of Obamacare, there are now a mere 8.5% of people in the United States that don’t have healthcare. But it won’t be like that for long. According to a report done by Rand Corp., 24.9 million American’s will not have health insurance in 2018. The analysis done by Rand only takes a look at the proposals that the candidates themselves have released.
Trump’s Plan:
- Trump’s plan will allow 20.3 million people to go without healthcare if he keeps his word about repealing Obamacare
- Make all healthcare insurance premiums tax deductible
- Trump’s plan is going to increase the federal deficit by $5.8 billion
- The deficit will be increased with a tax deduction, but will be offset by Medicaid being turned into a fixed grant
- Require price transparency from all health care providers so that people can shop for the best prices for medical services.
Clinton’s Plan:
- Clinton’s plans will have about 9.1 million without healthcare.
- This amount will be lower because she is offering a tax credit to help pay for premiums and any out of pocket costs
- Clinton’s plan will cause the deficit to get up to 88.5 billion (from the tax credit)
- Strengthen ability of states to modify or block premium rate hikes.
- Invest $500 million annually in an enrollment campaign.
- Double funding over 10 years for primary care services at community health centers.
Both Trump and Hilary have claimed to have issues with these finding s by Rand Corp. Trumps campaign stated that 20 million people will not lose their healthcare and that the study made estimates around a plan that does not exist.
Hilary’s campaign chimed in saying that the costs of her plans were overinflated and that other estimates that have been done by other organizations show a much lower number.

Both Trump and Hilary have completely different views on healthcare. To put it simply, Trump wants to repeal the ACA and Clinton plans to keep it.
