'TrumpCare:' Repealing 'Obamacare'



One of President Trump's biggest promise is finally coming to fruition. The replacement for "Obamacare" is now in the works.  Republicans have presented a new bill that would repeal and replace the current healthcare system. It is roughly 60 pages long; a big difference from the over 1,000 version found in Obamacare.  The Republican plan, now being named "TrumpCare," will keep several things from Obamacare.  Among these are the age limit a child can remain on a parent's plan and the ability to purchase insurance.  Missing from this bill are the mandates that forced Americans to buy insurance or face a penalty and for abortion to be covered by tax dollars.

However, Democrats and other liberals are not too happy with the new bill. They claim that the bill is just another tax cut for wealthy Americans.  The bill would save taxpayers $600 billion dollars with the majority of the money going to the rich.  

I will update this post as more details come in!  STAY TUNED!
