Purpose and Summary

Chamber: House

Introduced date: 2025-01-03

Bill 119 hr 114, also known as the "Repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010," is a proposed legislation in the US Congress that aims to repeal two major healthcare laws passed in 2010. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. It aimed to increase access to healthcare by expanding Medicaid, creating health insurance marketplaces, and implementing regulations to protect consumers. The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 was passed alongside the ACA to make additional changes to the healthcare system. Proponents of Bill 119 hr 114 argue that the ACA has led to increased healthcare costs, limited choices for consumers, and burdensome regulations on businesses. They believe that repealing these laws will lead to a more efficient and market-driven healthcare system. Opponents of the bill argue that repealing the ACA would result in millions of Americans losing their health insurance coverage, particularly those with pre-existing conditions who were protected under the ACA. They also argue that the ACA has led to improvements in healthcare access and affordability for many Americans. Overall, Bill 119 hr 114 is a controversial piece of legislation that seeks to undo major healthcare reforms implemented in 2010. Its passage would have significant implications for the US healthcare system and the millions of Americans who rely on the ACA for their health insurance coverage.
