Trump Just Dealt Obamacare a New Blow (and It Has Nothing to Do With Cost-Sharing Reductions)
In case you haven't heard, President Trump really, really wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the hallmark legislation of former President Barack Obama that bears his name (Obamacare). While Trump offered dozens of proposals during his campaign, none stood out more, or was leaned on more heavily, than the promise of repealing Obamacare once in office.
Yet Obamacare is still the law of the land, and we're now into September. Despite Republicans controlling both houses of Congress, no consensus can be reached on how to best repeal and replace Obamacare. One GOP faction, known as the Freedom Caucus, wants as complete a break from the ACA as possible, while more moderate Republicans fear that scaling back on Obamacare would hurt their low-income and sicker constituents. Healthcare in America is at an impasse.
