Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman warns that the GOP’s proposed health care plan would make insurance far less affordable for most Americans. Writing on Substack, Krugman explained that while the plan superficially replaces government subsidies with direct payments, Republicans are unlikely to provide enough support to keep coverage accessible. As a result, millions could drop insurance, leaving a sicker, older pool behind and driving premiums even higher. He also criticized Trump’s recent national address as evidence of poor governance and policy mismanagement.
