The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) became the hallmark legislation of Barack Obama’s presidency, and the efforts to repeal it have essentially consumed the current president’s agenda since he took office.
Donald Trump swept into Washington on numerous campaign promises, but few were bigger than the idea of repealing Obamacare, which is what the ACA is more commonly known as, and replacing it with something completely different. Trump frequently blasted Obamacare as being bad for America during his campaign, and in some ways, he was correct.
