Tammy Baldwin: 'Abandoning The ACA' Will Not Solve Underlying Problems Of U.S. Healthcare System

Published December 3, 2025 | Video Starts at 01:00

I want to make a point that just under 50% of Americans get their health insurance through employers OR group insurance. 20% are on Medicaid, 15% on Medicare. 1% on TRICARE VA, and just over 6% are in this market. There are problems with this market, but I have to say that. Abandoning the ACA by getting rid of these and trying to overturn it or destruct it is not going to solve the system as a whole.
