The Trump administration and Republican-led efforts have sought to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, with alternative health insurance plans.Some key proposals and actions include: 1. Repeal and Replace: Republicans have introduced several bills to repeal and replace the ACA, such as the American Health Care Act (AHCA) and the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA). 2. Short-Term Limited-Duration Insurance (STLDI): The Trump administration has expanded STLDI plans, which provide temporary coverage for up to 12 months, as an alternative to ACA plans. 3. Association Health Plans (AHPs): The administration has also expanded AHPs, which allow small businesses and self-employed individuals to band together to purchase health insurance. 4. Medicaid Work Requirements: Some Republican-led states have implemented work requirements for Medicaid recipients, which can lead to loss of coverage for those who do not comply. 5. Pre-Existing Conditions: The Trump administration has taken steps to undermine protections for individuals with pre-existing conditions, such as supporting lawsuits that challenge the ACA’s provisions.
