Republican lawmakers debuted their proposal on Monday, [potentially ending the ACA's current mandate](http://fortune.com/2017/03/07/gop-healthcare-plan-opposition/) to buy insurance, while reorganizing Medicaid funding. S&P, which expects a decline in enrollment in the individual marketplace and in those covered under Medicaid, estimates that the GOP's changes would result in 2 million to 4 million fewer open marketplace enrollees, as compared to an estimated 12.2 million who opted into the ACA's individual marketplace in 2017. S&P is also expecting a 4 million to 6 million decrease in those covered by Medicaid between 2020 and 2024 if the new proposal passes. Roughly 51.6 million in 32 states and Washington, D.C. that participated in the Medicaid expansion were covered by Medicaid at the end of 2016, S&P reported. Those lower enrollment figures would decrease premiums for consumers, but only for some groups. The declines will result in "increased affordability for the eligible younger population, and reduced affordability for the older population," the report stated. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/gop-healthcare-plan-whos-not-covered/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Insurance", "item": "https://money.com/insurance/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Health Insurance", "item": "https://money.com/health-insurance/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "One in Six May Lose Health Insurance Under the GOP's Obamacare Replacement" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/gop-healthcare-plan-whos-not-covered/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/gop-healthcare-plan-whos-not-covered/", "name": "One in Six May Lose Health Insurance Under the GOP's Obamacare Replacement", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2017-03-08T20:26:34.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/gop-healthcare-plan-whos-not-covered/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/gop-healthcare-plan-whos-not-covered/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-04-17T05:23:38.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "One in Six May Lose Health Insurance Under the GOP's Obamacare Replacement", "articleSection": "Insurance", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/03/paul-ryan-health-care-act.jpg", "width": 5581, "height": 3714, "caption": "House Speaker Paul Ryan Holds News Conference On American Health Care Act" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lucinda Shen", "url": "https://money.com/author/lucinda-shen/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/lucinda-shen/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/shenlucinda" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2017-03-08T20:26:34.000Z", "description": "One out of six consumers covered under the Affordable Care Act would no longer have insurance under the GOP's replacement,", "abstract": "One out of six consumers covered under the Affordable Care Act would no longer have insurance under the GOP's replacement,", "@id": "https://money.com/gop-healthcare-plan-whos-not-covered/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-04-17T05:23:38.000Z", "wordCount": 220, "keywords": [ "health insurance", "onetime" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Insurance", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurance" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Health insurance in the United States", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_insurance_in_the_United_States" ] } ] } ] } ```
