While AHCA, more commonly known as Trumpcare, is a bill early in the legislative process, it passed in the House of Representatives so comparisons between Trumpcare and Obamacare have begun. The differences between Trumpcare and Obamacare are not fully known, but we can speculate based on the drafts of the bill and President Trump’s statements on healthcare. It’s important for Americans to understand the ramifications of new healthcare laws and what it can do to prescription drug coverage for those that need it most.
The details on prescription drug coverage are scarce, but President Trump has made some interesting statements that could be one of the differences between Trumpcare and Obamacare. Trump has discussed the idea of allowing people to buy from foreign and overseas countries, which he believes will significantly lower costs. It is true that prescription medication is significantly less expensive for the same drugs, for example in Canada and Mexico. There has been support for overseas drug sales in the past, but the provisions in Obamacare do not address this idea at all.
The negative aspect of Trumpcare stems from the fact that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates 24 million Americans will lose their health insurance, this includes prescription drug coverage. This could drastically affect access to much-needed prescription drugs for many Americans.
