July 5, 2026 Harris Butler, Nation of Change. Resist! Health Care, Medicaid, Trump Administration, Uninsured

Nearly half a million moderate-income New Yorkers began losing health insurance on July 1, the first major wave of coverage losses tied to the Republican tax and spending law enacted last year. Days earlier, 25 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration over new Medicaid work rules that could strip coverage from eligible people who cannot navigate new paperwork requirements. Together, the two developments show how the health care cuts are moving from Washington policy fights into clinics, enrollment offices, and household budgets.

The Common Dreams headline: "Millions of Americans Joining the Ranks of the Uninsured Thanks to Trump-GOP Cuts in 2025." (That is, cuts to Medicaid, and the end of premium subsidies for ACA Marketplace plans.) The sub-heading: "New data released by KFF underscores how 'universal, seamless coverage throughout the life course remains an urgent prerogative for the nation' said one physician and advocate." The physician advocate is Dr. Adam Gaffney, former president of Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), who is further quoted as calling "abhorrent" the fact that an estimated 25 million Americans are uninsured.

Trump Is Making America Uninsured Again

In 2025, the Trump administration successfully pushed Congress to enact nearly $1 trillion in health care cuts over the coming decade, which the Congressional Budget Office analysis estimated would result in 10 million people losing health coverage by 2034. More recently, it has blocked any and all efforts to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credit subsidies for people buying insurance on the state exchanges. In demanding that the GOP leadership in Congress prevent at all costs a continuation of the expanded ACA tax credits, Donald Trump intimated that his administration was on the verge of proposing a better and more affordable health care reform to replace the ACA system.

About 24.3 million Americans were enrolled in healthcare plans within the Affordable Care Act marketplace last year, but a survey released Thursday by KFF found that about 1 in 10 of those people had no choice but to make a difficult and risky calculation at the end of 2025 when ACA subsidies expired due to Republicans’ refusal to support an extension. According to the research, 9% of people enrolled in plans under the marketplace last year are now uninsured, having dropped their coverage—and costs were a deciding factor for the vast majority of those who left the marketplace.

My Rude Health Care Awakening

March 14, 2026 John Katz, Bedlam Farm. Educate! Health Care, Health Insurance, Uninsured, United States

Living as I do in the country, I sometimes feel somewhat removed from the suffering and chaos so many Americans are feeling. I think of people in trouble as being them, not me. I got my wake-up call this week when my health care plan was suddenly canceled without explanation or warning. I learned this when I went to order regular medication for my diabetes and was told my insurance was suddenly canceled, and I would have to pay $1,000 for it. It wasn’t until I called my very expensive supplement plan that I learned it had been canceled. That was scary enough. For me, a person with diabetes and heart disease, this was the closest thing to a life-or-death issue I’ve experienced since my Open Heart Surgery.

As Medicaid Purge Begins; ‘Staggering Numbers’ Of People Lose Coverage

More than 600,000 Americans have lost Medicaid coverage since pandemic protections ended on April 1. And a KFF Health News analysis of state data shows the vast majority were removed from state rolls for not completing paperwork. Under normal circumstances, states review their Medicaid enrollment lists regularly to ensure every recipient qualifies for coverage. But because of a nationwide pause in those reviews during the pandemic, the health insurance program for low-income and disabled Americans kept people covered even if they no longer qualified. Now, in what’s known as the Medicaid unwinding, states are combing through rolls and deciding who stays and who goes.

More Than 14 Million May Have Lost Health Coverage

In the latest analysis, researchers first tried to assess how many workers and dependents relied on job-based coverage as of March 2019. Then, using data from the Labor Department, they estimated how many workers lost jobs and how many of those had employer-based coverage. Researchers examined this information by industry, age and gender. Some industries were affected more than others and a few were almost spared entirely. "As a result, we would expect the number of people losing jobs with [employer-sponsored insurance] to vary greatly by industry, and possibly by other characteristics, such as age and gender," according to the report.
