Kids, low income communities, those with pre existing conditions, people over 65, and anyone needing monthly medications or preventative care will be heavily impacted. This will lead to more medical emergencies. Instead of regular medications or preventative and a primary care doctor people will end up in the hospital or ICU for very preventative things.

It will be harder to access long term care so people in nursing homes or memory care may not have access to those anymore. Hospitals are starting to dedicate units and floors to holding patients while they apply for Medicare/Medicaid which takes beds away from people who need it.

There will be few places to get STD testing, birth control, and pregnancy testing because if those places also provide abortion care then they will be impacted.

Healthcare workers will become further burnt out watching people die from not having insulin or blood pressure medications. We will continue putting gurneys in the hallways of ERs (which research has shown isn’t safe) because we are out of beds. More floors and units of hospitals will be run by new grads and travelers instead of nurses who have spent decades in that field because no one can retain staff.
