History

Historical Context

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted in 2010, aimed to expand healthcare access for millions of Americans, with projections indicating tax credits would lower premiums for about 20 million people. Since then, Republican opposition has persisted, notably with the failed American Health Care Act (AHCA) in 2017, which sought to repeal the ACA, reflecting ongoing divisions within the GOP over healthcare policy.
