Affordable Care Act
A home for all Missourians, and those who should be. A subreddit to explore the deep rivers and wide diversity of Missouri culture, environment, sports, history, politics, art, news, cities and countryside.
Senate Republicans will not vote this week on the latest, last-ditch effort to repeal and replace Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.
That’s the word from senators as they emerged from a closed-door meeting on Tuesday. Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona shook his head and said “no” when asked about plans for a vote.
The setback marks the end for the latest drive to overturn the law, a promise the GOP has made to voters for seven years.
The latest iteration of the bill was sponsored by Sens. Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham, but opposition from at least three Republican senators in the narrowly-divided Senate sunk the measure’s chances. Democrats were unified in their opposition.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) repeal is no longer considered a priority for Republicans. The ACA cannot be repealed due to a Democratic Senate and President. Despite this, the GOP pursued Obamacare repeal from 2011 to 2017, even though there was no possibility that it would have happened due to Obama's veto. The GOP tried to repeal the ACA in 2017 but narrowly lost due to Manchin, McCain, Murkowski and Collins voting no. Since 2018, the GOP has been quiet on ACA repeal. It wasn't a main campaign issue in 2020 and 2022, a stark contrast from 2010 to 2018.
Do the GOP consider the issue of the ACA settled, and is a battle not worth pursuing, or are they keeping quiet and planning to revive ACA repeal when they have a trifecta?

The leading candidate for the Republican nomination and former president recently made this comment:
Trump posted on Truth Social, “The cost of Obamacare is out of control, plus, it’s not good Healthcare. I’m seriously looking at alternatives. We had a couple of Republican Senators who campaigned for 6 years against it, and then raised their hands not to terminate it. It was a low point for the Republican Party, but we should never give up!”
Now that it’s been in place for 13+ years what is the alternative being proposed other than repealing it?
Why not run on improving upon the issues you have with it instead?
The Supreme Court hears a consolidated oral argument challenging the constitutionality of the health care law.
Issues: (1) Whether the individual and state plaintiffs in this case have established Article III standing to challenge the minimum-coverage provision in Section 5000A(a) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA); (2) whether reducing the amount specified in Section 5000A(c) to zero rendered the minimum-coverage provision unconstitutional; and (3) if so, whether the minimum-coverage provision is severable from the rest of the ACA.

Edit: Lots of interesting viewpoints. Most of which I'd never really considered (not really well informed on the topic).
Anyone care to weigh in on a libertarian leaning viewpoint?
