As the U.S. uninsured rate rises, is the government doing too much, too little, or about the right amount to help people get health coverage?
New data show the U.S. uninsured rate climbing after hitting a record low, with critics saying policy changes under President Trump have pushed people off coverage.
Too little. Health care is a basic necessity, and government should make affordable coverage available to every American. But the better answer is affordable private coverage and state-led reform, with federal support to close gaps and provide a safety net.
to everyone picking "too much" while the uninsured rate climbs, what would the government stop doing, and what happens to the people who lose coverage when it does?
