Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul Joins Lawsuit Challenging New Federal Rule Governing Affordable Care Act Health Plans for 2027

“The Trump administration continues to try to undermine the Affordable Care Act’s goals of expanding health insurance coverage and making it more affordable and we’re continuing to stand on the side of the law and access to affordable health care.”
— Wisconsin AG Josh Kaul

MADISON, Wis. — Attorney General Josh Kaul joined a multi-state lawsuit against the Trump administration over new rules for 2027 health plans that would cause two million people to lose health coverage in 2027 and five million by 2030, according to the Trump administration’s own estimates. Attorney generals like AG Kaul joined forces in the lawsuit in an effort to prevent the Trump administration from expanding catastrophic healthcare plans that chip away at critical protections in the Affordable Care Act.

WBAY: Wisconsin joins multi-state lawsuit to block new health insurance rules

The Wisconsin Department of Justice is joining a multi-state lawsuit against the Trump administration over health insurance.
The 21 participating states say federal officials are again trying to expand barebones catastrophic plans and chip away at protections in the Affordable Care Act.
The lawsuit goes after a new federal rule for 2027 health plans. State attorneys general say it would make health coverage more expensive and harder to get by pushing people into plans that don’t qualify for premium tax credits and can come with much higher medical bills than standard ACA plans.
According to the Wisconsin DOJ, the U.S. government’s own Department of Health and Human Services estimated the new rule would cause two million people to lose health coverage in 2027 and five million by 2030.
The coalition of states expressed opposition to the new rule during the public comment period, and say many of the provisions in the rule were recently found to be illegal.
