In the words of President Donald Trump, “Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated.”
Trump’s surprise victory in November, coupled with Republicans retaining a majority of seats in the House and Senate, was expected to clear a path for a plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the hallmark health bill of Barack Obama’s presidency that’s often called Obamacare. However, Republicans have struggled at every turn to pass a replacement bill.
