Potential Changes to Vaccination and Preventive Care Policies
Federal support for vaccinations and preventive care could shift under the new administration, potentially impacting both access and coverage.
What could change?
-
Vaccine confidence may decline – Some top health officials have questioned vaccine safety, which could influence public perception and lower vaccination rates.
-
Free preventive care could disappear – Affordable Care Act provisions that require many preventive services to be covered without cost-sharing are facing legal challenges. If overturned, individuals may have to pay out-of-pocket for screenings, contraceptive care, and routine checkups.
-
Higher long-term costs – Research consistently shows preventive care reduces long-term healthcare costs. Reduced federal support could lead to higher claims costs, more missed work days, and more preventable illnesses.
Why this matters for individuals and employers:
-
Access to cost-effective preventive services is vital for long-term health and financial stability.
-
Even if federal mandates change, many employers may still choose to offer low-cost preventive coverage to help protect their workforce and reduce claims.
