## Resource

Millions of Americans face losing health insurance as tax credits expire, driving premiums up and forcing many into high-deductible plans—or worse, dropping coverage entirely. The government claims a drop in ACA enrollees is due to fraud cleanup, but the real story is economic pressure: healthy, low-cost users are being priced out, potentially collapsing the system’s risk pool and pushing insurers away. With enrollment projected to plummet and premiums set to rise again, the administration’s “efficiency” narrative masks a crisis forcing people to choose between health and survival.
