Trumpcare

The Republican replacement for Obamacare has been met with opposition lately. Not just from the people, but from Republicans and Steve Bannon news site, Breitbart.

The new healthcare plan is being pushed by House Speaker, PAul Ryan, who has been continuing a campaign to get his party to vote on the bill. While interviewing on CBS's Face the Nation, Ryan spoke on the opposition of the bill, by downplaying it, saying that it is simple "compromises and negotiations."

The Democrats main criticism of the replacement healthcare plan is the possibility of 15 million people losing coverage. Ryan's response to this is that he, "can't answer" on how many may or may not lose coverage.

A major problem for Republicans for this plan is that they could possibly give up their majority hold over the House next year.

One argument presented by Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget, while supporting the bill stated in an interview with ABC's This Week, that the bill is more about care than coverage. Stating that those under Obamacare cannot afford the care side of things, and this new bill will provide affordable, quality care to those that decide to insure themselves.

This bill is a way for the Trump administration to test the kind of sway it has in Congress. To see if that actually works still remains to be seen, as Republicans like Senator Rand Paul have said they will not vote for the bill.
