Brief Executive Summary
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for the State of New Mexico conducted an investigation to assess the potential effects of the Trump Administration's decision not to longer defend in federal court the ACA's health coverage protections for Americans with pre-existing health conditions. The report estimated that 77,000 people in the individual market of the state may lose federal protections against coverage denials or premium increases as a result of their pre-existing health conditions.
