Congress is scheduled to vote on American Health Care Act on Thursday. See here.
The first package of the reforms Republicans are pursuing to repeal or reform the Obamacare law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Act focuses on changing the revenue and tax components of the ACA. Because of super-majority vote requirements in tge Ssnate, Republican leaders say they intend to pursue through separate, policy-focused healthcare reforms through separate packages of legislation coupled with regulatory reforms.
When introducing the Act, Speaker Ryan touted the Act as rescuing the US health care system from the ACA driving down costs, encouraging competition, and giving every American access to quality, affordable health insurance.
