Cheaper health insurance changed their lives. Then it went away.

Subsidized Affordable Care Act health insurance plans, which provided regular care for diabetes patients in Mississippi, lost coverage after Congress allowed federal enhanced subsidies to expire at the end of last year. The loss has significantly impacted over 200,000 Mississippians, causing state data to show enrollment in ACA plans has fallen by nearly two-thirds in just eight months. Without routine care, individual patients face dire medical and financial consequences.
