American Health Care Act of 2017

The American Health Care Act of 2017 (H.R. 1628), referred to by the acronym AHCA and nicknamed variously as Trumpcare,[1] Ryancare,[2] Republicare,[3] and pejoratively Obamacare-Lite,[4] is a United States Congress bill to repeal and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act "Obamacare" (ACA).[5][6][7] It is based on a plan first publicly released by House Republicans on March 6, 2017, and the first part of what is a 3-phase plan to repeal the act.

Consideration of the bill was postponed on March 24, 2017, after it failed to gain enough House Republican support to pass it.[8][9] Towards the end of April 2017, Republicans began trying to revive the bill with the MacArthur Amendment, named after Representative Tom MacArthur of New Jersey.[10]

On May 4, 2017, the United States House of Representatives voted in favor of repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and passing the American Health Care Act with a narrow vote of 217 to 213, sending the bill to the Senate for a full majority vote.[11][5][6][12][13]
