American Health Care Act of 2017 (AHCA or Trumpcare)

The American Health Care Act of 2017, also known as Trumpcare, is a proposed healthcare reform bill that was introduced by the Republican Party in the United States House of Representatives on March 6, 2017. The bill would repeal and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare.

The AHCA was approved by the House on May 4, 2017, but it has not yet been passed by the Senate. If it is passed by the Senate and signed into law by President Trump, the AHCA would make major changes to the ACA, including repealing the individual mandate, which requires all Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty. The AHCA would also make it easier for insurance companies to sell plans that don't cover essential health benefits, and it would allow states to waive the ACA's prohibition on charging higher premiums to people with pre-existing medical conditions.

Is Obamacare and Trumpcare the same thing?

No, Obamacare and Trumpcare are not the same thing.

Obamacare, also known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), was passed into law in 2010. The ACA expanded access to health insurance by requiring all Americans to have health insurance and providing subsidies to help make coverage more affordable. The ACA also imposed a number of new regulations on the health insurance industry, such as banning insurance companies from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.

Trumpcare, also known as the American Health Care Act (AHCA), was passed by the House of Representatives in 2017. The AHCA would have repealed the ACA and replaced it with a new system that would have provided less financial assistance to people to help them afford health insurance. The AHCA would also have allowed insurance companies to charge people with pre-existing conditions more for coverage. The AHCA did not pass the Senate, so it never became law. What did the AHCA do? The American Health Care Act (AHCA) was a bill that was proposed by the Republicans in the House of Representatives as a replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The AHCA would have repealed the ACA's individual mandate, which requires people to have health insurance, and would have also allowed states to opt out of the ACA's provisions that require insurers to cover people with pre-existing conditions. The AHCA was never voted on in the Senate and thus did not become law.

What is the health care reform Act of 2017?

The bill was then sent to the Senate, where it was rejected on July 28, 2018.

Trumpcare is the name given to the proposed healthcare reform plan by President Donald Trump. The plan has not been finalized yet, but it is expected to include some combination of the following elements:

- Replacing the ACA with a new healthcare plan
- Introducing some form of healthcare voucher system
- Allowing insurance companies to sell across state lines
- Providing tax breaks for people who buy their own health insurance
- Making it easier for people to join group health insurance plans
- Letting people use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to pay for healthcare costs
