The Republicans Have a New Healthcare Proposal, but You'll Probably Still Hate It
When Donald Trump won the presidential election, the clock on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) began ticking and its repeal was all but a given in the minds of most Americans. Yet, nearly eight months after Trump took office, Obamacare, as the ACA is more commonly known, remains the health law of the land, and may remain so for some time to come.
House and Senate Republicans have come up with multiple iterations of what healthcare reform should look like, but in each instance, with one exception, the GOP's bills have ended in failure. That exception was the narrow passage of the American Health Care Act, which passed by a vote of 217 to 213 in the House, but wound up dead on arrival in the Senate. The real irony here is that the House motioned to pass a repeal of Obamacare 60 times under the Obama presidency, but now that the GOP has a majority in the legislative branches of Congress, they can't secure its repeal.
