Levitt, L. (2019, July). What is Trump care? In JAMA Health Forum (Vol. 8, No. 1). American Medical Association

American Health Care Act (AHCA)

 The bill was also referred to as the Trumpcare, it was meant to eliminate the Affordable Health Care and was passed by the House of Representatives but failed to be passed by the senate. The bill was marred by many politics and it was introduced to the house by the Republicans. It was meant to contrast the Affordable Care Act that was introduced by his predecessor well known as obamacare.

The key ingredients of the health care issue were to cancel the expansion as well as the expansion of ACA by the beginning of year 2020. The bill proposed that there should be a modification of age-based tax-credits for persons that have a salary of less than $6250 per month. The bill had a provision of retention of coverage availability that is meant for pre-existing issues and requirements plus the coverage of the kids that are covered by their parents insurance until they attain 26 years. The bill indicated that upon its passage, there would be elimination of the Affordable care act tax penalties  for persons that fail to have health insurance and employers that do not have more than 50  full-time employees  and have not accorded them the privileges of  health insurance.

The Trump care suggested that there would be a 30% penalty surcharge by insurers on customers signing up and they have lapsed in coverage regardless of their health conditions. However, the bill meant to uphold the significant health benefits for instance, maternity coverage, prescription drugs as well as the mental health care.

             It has been indicated by the congressional budget office that statistics show that by 2018, 16 million Americans were uninsured with a probability of having 30 million uninsured by 2025 eminent. However, the Trump care suggested that it would reduce such federal deficit by $400 billion in the following ten years. The bill further insinuated that the premiums in the personal insurance market would be boosted before reducing overtime for many Americans, thus, less so for older low income cadres.

             The ACA act of 2017 was termed as unpopular and received numerous criticisms both from politicians and health care experts. The liberal opponents suggested that the ACA   will make Americans to have less number of insured especially the low-income households with the ensuing end of the Medicaid expansion. There were various conservative opponents that had the view of the ‘’Obamacare lite’’ as it contain many social benefit mandates borrowed from the Affordable Care Act.

 As there is declining legislative as well as political support, the American Health Care Act of 2017 bill had to be withdrawn from  being considered  by the House of Representatives   on the material day  it was  initially supposed and scheduled  for a vote on March 24, 2017. Thus, the bill has no future.
