The article discusses mistakes made by the Republican party during Trump's presidency, particularly their failed attempt to 'repeal and replace' Obamacare. It highlights two significant issues: the growing popularity of the Affordable Care Act and obscured details of its proposed replacement. The article notes that while Trump's legislative agenda does not aim to repeal Obamacare, Republican efforts in Congress could lead to millions losing access to health insurance. Overall, it reflects on the continued challenges the GOP faces in healthcare policy and messaging.
Congressional Republicans are pursuing changes to the Affordable Care Act that would mean 10.7 million fewer Americans using its insurance marketplaces and Medicaid, a huge reduction that some view as a way to accomplish part of the health-care coverage cancellation that failed in 2017.
The 'replace' part of 'repeal and replace' was never quite clear aside from the manifest determination of Republicans to let insurance companies resume discrimination against people with expensive health problems.
