Hospitals would take a $165.8 billion loss on net income if the Affordable Care Act were repealed without replacement, according to an article on the Becker's Hospital Review website.
A report, commissioned by the Federation of American Hospitals and the American Hospital Association, uses the reconciliation bill vetoed by President Obama as its model of what an ACA repeal would look like.
If this bill were passed, it would repeal the ACA's individual mandate, the employer mandate, premium tax credits, cost-sharing subsidies, the transition reinsurance program, Medicaid expansion and a handful of other taxes, such as the medical device tax.
The bill would also restore Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital payments. The $165.8 billion estimated negative impact on hospitals includes restored Medicaid DSH payments.
