4 Key Things to Know About Trumpcare

Healthcare policy in the United States is nothing short of a mess. Around 25% of Americans are very worried about being unable to afford healthcare services, while 22% of the population is concerned about losing coverage. And Trumpcare, the proposal to repeal and replace Obamacare, isn't helping Americans feel more secure: Just 16% of U.S. adults think the House of Representatives' healthcare reform bill is a good idea.

While the American public already largely opposes Trumpcare, there's a lot of confusion about what Trumpcare entails. There are actually two different versions: The American Health Care Act, the bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 4 (i.e, the one that Americans disapprove of by a 3-to-1 margin), and the Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017, which the U.S. Senate has proposed. Neither bill has enough support to become law, so any bill that passes will necessarily contain some compromises.
