The Trump administration, through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), is expanding access to high-deductible healthcare plans starting in 2027. These plans, characterized by low premiums and high out-of-pocket maximums, are being made available to individuals of all ages and incomes, significantly increasing the potential financial burden on patients. Critics argue these changes promote "junk insurance" that leaves individuals vulnerable to substantial medical debt, while supporters contend they offer greater consumer choice and affordability in the healthcare market.
