Health Insurance in Fort Worth May
Be Expendable As Senate Bill Fails
to Pass
Fort Worth health insurance may
not see expanded federal
healthcare programs come to
fruition now that the current
administration's $3.5 trillion
spending program faces the
prospect of being scaled back,
according to a spokesperson for
Insurance4Dallas.
A bombshell report by Yahoo, states
that blue state lawmakers hope to pass
a new bill using the budget reconciliation
process, which requires only 51 votes in
the Senate.
Blue state lawmakers wish
to push those subsidies for
another 10 years in their new
spending package.
The report states that the
total cost of these
expansions is roughly $600
billion, which has prompted
several who are against the
bill to suggest pausing the
legislation until possibly
2022.
This would directly impact those
with health insurance in Fort
Worth.
Dan Adcock, the government relations and
policy director at the liberal National
Committee to Preserve Social Security and
Medicare, was quoted as saying, "I think
that they can still get it done, but it may have
to be done on a scale that's smaller than we
would have hoped.
I think this is something
that, at least in the
advocacy community,
people had anticipated
this and know that this
was going to be a likely
outcome.
I think there's still going to be a bill, but it may not be as
ambitious as we would have liked." Rick Thornton, a
Fort Worth health insurance agent echoed the Yahoo!
report, saying that reducing the amount of the overall bill
would also mean reducing spending on the healthcare
provisions.
The current administration went out of
its way to add a special enrollment
period that just expired in August, and
that extra time to apply made it easy for
those who lost their jobs and employer-
sponsored insurance due to the
pandemic.
