3 Republican Healthcare Reforms Democrats May Agree To, and 1 Major Sticking Point
When Donald Trump became president in January, it was widely assumed that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was running on borrowed time. However, the ACA, which is more commonly known as Obamacare, lives on. Despite four separate attempts to repeal and replace Obamacare by Congressional Republicans -- two in the House and two in the Senate -- Obamacare remains the health law of the land.
Despite of having a majority in both houses of Congress, Republicans, both moderate and far-right leaning, have put the kibosh on any attempts to repeal and replace Obamacare. Moderate Republicans fear that changes to Obamacare would harm their low-income constituents, while Freedom Caucus members are of the opinion that the proposals put forth don't go far enough to repeal Obamacare and distance themselves from the ACA platform. It's left the GOP and Congress in quite the bind.
