In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s more important than ever for people to be aware of every potential healthcare option available to them, as well as the pros and cons of each option. Either way, 2021 could potentially present a new healthcare landscape, especially in the United States as a new administration prepares to take over and certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) remain in legal limbo.
