Four years ago, Trump predicted America would be in a depression if he didn’t win in 2020. He was wrong again. The economy has grown 11 percent since Trump left office. It’s the exact opposite of a depression.

Legitimately wow! The Biden-Harris economy grew meaningfully faster than expected during their admin.

Look at how much the economy was expected to grow from 2021 through now & compare to what actually happened.

The economy outpaced what CBO thought when they first took office.

• Nine percent of enrollees who report their race/ethnicity are Black. If the percentage is the same among those not reporting, the estimated number of Black Americans with Marketplace coverage in 2024 would be almost two million.

Our population is 49.6 million. So about 4% of us are using the ACA. I think we should understand fully what is at stake and how it affects us before we use energy to worry about an issue. So the question each of us should ask, is how this will affect me and mine. For me and my family, it would not affect us at all. So I am not going to worry about their promise, but instead concern myself with other issues that are enough reason to not vote for them.

ACA also impacts small businesses not just individuals. My workplace participates in small business marketplace insurance in order to offer us benefits. The number of black people impacted by this, especially if they work for a CBO, may be unknown.

"Across coverage groups, a total of 45 million Americans are enrolled in coverage related to the ACA, the highest total on record. This represents 14.1 million more people enrolled than in 2021 (a 46% increase) and 32.5 million more people enrolled than in 2014 (a 258% increase, or more than triple).Mar 22, 2024"

Population of the US: 346,037,975

https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2024/03/22/celebration-10-years-aca-marketplaces-biden-harris-administration-releases-historic-enrollment-data.html#:~:text=Across%20coverage%20groups%2C%20a%20total,%2C%20or%20more%20than%20triple).

So that count is everyone no matter race, and the percentage of the US population using the ACA no matter how they got it, is 13%. Also, I am pretty sure that estimated 2 million covered of our people includes in it those who got it through their job that uses the ACA.

So again, I am not going to clutch my pearls over this issue. A more concerning issue would be Medicaid, 20% percent of our people's population is on it, compared to the 4% of ACA.

If ACA is a concern for you, go ahead and worry about their rhetoric on what they will do with it. I personally see no reason to make that a worry of mine. I just want people to see what the actual data is and make a decision on if they will worry about it, based on actual verifiable information and not just gut feelings.

This seems contradictory to me as repealing ACA provides a slippery slope for Medicaid, imo. With access, or lack thereof, to quality Healthcare being what it is for black people regardless of income, I would be remiss in being dismissive of this issuen whether im impacted personallyor not. History has shown me that as a black person we're always impacted by everything, even the invisible, and disproportionately. But to each his own.

That's cold way to look at health care.

Well I will worry about that issue if it comes to pass. Even though, it would be more along the lines of concern for my less well off brothers and sisters. Right now, the ACA does not affect even 10% of our people since it is only 4%. I am not going to worry over something that is a minor concern at best, when considering what affects the entire population of Black Americans.

Again, you can worry over it if it affects you. Still, it directly affects less than 96% of the Black American population. Its removal would be a minor inconvenience at best for the bulk of my people.
