Republicans unveil Obamacare replacement amid partisan clash
The GOP proposes the American Health Care Act to replace Obamacare with looser mandates and new cost sharing options. Critics warn of higher costs and potential loss of coverage while protections for pre existing conditions remain. Supporters cite flexibility and potential lower overall expenses. The plan phases out Medicaid expansion funding from 2020, inviting states to manage costs, with some Republicans wary of backlash if coverage shrinks.
