Dr. Monica Vohra says her patients are often worried when they come to see her at a free medical center in Washington, D.C. But she says their worries have increased recently. Most of Dr. Vohra’s patients are low-income, members of minority groups and are mainly immigrants to the United States. I think the language that's out there has been disturbing. Some of it has re-traumatized some of our folks who have been traumatized by previous policies. There's a sense of feeling unsafe and insecure.” Dr. Vohra says many of her patients are worried that they will lose their health insurance if they received coverage through the Affordable Care Act. That law is often called ObamaCare. She says critical statements by President Donald Trump about ObamaCare make her patients worry they will lose their insurance. “It’s definitely something that is on our minds,” she says. “We encourage people to get insurance every day, and in the back of my mind I am thinking, ‘What if this is not an option soon?’” Trump and the Republican-majority Congress say they plan to cancel ObamaCare and replace it. The new program will give, in the president’s words, “great health care for less money.” Many poor Americans are waiting to see how any new program will affect them.
