Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Donald Trump all propose different approaches to healthcare reform:
- Hillary Clinton proposes keeping the Affordable Care Act framework but strengthening it by reducing costs and expanding subsidies.
- Bernie Sanders proposes a single-payer "Medicare for All" system funded by taxes on employers and households.
- Donald Trump proposes repealing the ACA and replacing it with a system that expands HSAs, allows cross-state insurance sales, and increases price transparency.
