On Thursday, June 22, 2017, Senate Republicans unveiled their long-awaited health care overhaul proposal. The Senate bill, called the “Better Care Reconciliation Act,” would repeal major parts of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
With the exception of some key changes-notably keeping income based subsidies to help people pay for individual coverage-the bill largely resembles the American Health Care Act (AHCA) passed by the House in May.
A vote is planned for the end of next week. If the bill passes, it would need to be reconciled with the House’s bill before going to President Trump’s desk. The full text of the 142-page bill can be found here.
