Go self-pay. It is often less expensive.

It's surprising that the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership - The Conservative Promise (920 pages), has only seven paragraphs on the ACA, p 469-470.

No call for repeal. Which is interesting, since HF has spent a lot of bandwidth for many years calling for repeal.

The best idea they have in the P2025 document:

Separate the subsidized ACA exchange market from the non- subsidized insurance market.

The Affordable Care Act has made insurance more expensive and less competitive, and the ACA subsidy scheme simply masks these impacts. To make health insurance coverage more affordable for those who are without government subsidies, CMS should develop a plan to separate the non-subsidized insurance market from the subsidized market, giving the non-subsidized market regulatory relief from the costly ACA regulatory mandates.

It remains to be seen how strongly HF will pursue any changes to the ACA. So far they've been pretty quiet.


Keeping in mind that the individual mandate passed constitutional muster, and although the tax penalty was eliminated in 2017, the mandate remains.

Depending on how future political winds flow, the penalty could rear its ugly head again.

“I’ve never met a person with an HSA who disliked it. Prices are so much cheaper, service is faster cause no insurance or government paperwork, and doctors are happier.(they don’t have to do excess paperwork either)”

I have no idea what you are talking about and neither do you. An HSA is from having a high deductible insurance plan. It does not mean paying cash for everything.

Also, without high coverage insurance, good luck funding anything beyond a very simple procedure using the limited funds of an HSA.
