Conservatives rebel against Obamacare replacement
  • 7 years ago
Republicans went head-to-head with their own party over repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act with Trump-backed healthcare. While President Donald Trump praised the legislation, he was met with a rebellion by conservative groups and lawmakers. Democrats criticized the proposal, claiming millions of Americans will be negatively affected by the change. Some conservatives argued that the new proposal didn't remove government from health care. Trump noted the legislation was open to negotiation, with Vice President Mike Pence calling the proposal only a "framework."
