## Resource

South Carolina’s healthcare system is in freefall as over 100,000 residents lost insurance in just one year—mostly due to Medicaid cuts and ACA plan cancellations. Experts warn premiums will rise, hospitals risk closure, and the ripple effects will hit everyone. While officials blame fraud, advocates say rising costs are the real culprit—and they’re already seeing the human toll as uninsured patients flood ERs, forcing hospitals to absorb billions in uncompensated care.
