The Trump administration is challenging the Affordable Care Act and attempting to get the Supreme Court to throw it out entirely. Center for Rural Affairs Officials says if the ACA is not in place it will create costs and coverage problems for farmers and ranchers. Center’s Policy Director Jonathan Hladik says although some changes have been made to the ACA, it is working well for agriculture.

He says if the High Court were to throw out the Affordable Care Act, then protections for the insured against Pre Existing Conditions put up by insurance companies would disappear creating even more problems.

Hladik says it’s hard to predict what the Supreme Court will decide although previous challenges to the ACA have failed.

Hladik says more work needs to be done to make health care insurance affordable for those in Rural America.
