GO Banking Rates reported that several experts have issued a warning that these tariffs could actually result in price hikes of up to 46% on electronics imported from the country China and around 19% on appliances. This shift is eventually expected to impact the middle class families significantly as costs for essential goods will surely rise.
Adding onto that, the healthcare costs might hugely soar due to US President- elect Donald Trump's plans to dismantle parts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) while at the same time, potentially increasing monthly premiums by 20-30% and making coverage less accessible.
