One of President Trump’s main campaign promises was to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as the ACA or Obamacare.

During the ACA’s open enrollment period that ended January 31st, 9.2 million people enrolled in the 39 states that use the federal health insurance exchange website healthcare.gov, with Florida topping enrollment lists.

Economic analyst Hank Fishkind looks at the ACA from the perspective of Florida’s finances, and walks 90.7's Nicole Darden Creston through what changes in the program could mean for the state.

Nicole came to Central Florida to attend Rollins College and started working for Orlando’s ABC News Radio affiliate shortly after graduation. She joined Central Florida Public Media in 2010. As a field reporter, news anchor and radio show host in the City Beautiful, she has covered everything from local arts to national elections, from extraordinary hurricanes to historic space flights, from the people and procedures of Florida’s justice system to the changing face of the state’s economy.
