| Discussion Megathread: Senate edges close to passing scaled-down ObamaCare repeal Posted: 27 Jul 2017 08:16 PM PDT Senate Republican leaders finally unveiled legislation that had been closely guarded from the public. A crucial vote on the plan is expected just after midnight (EST). The legislation, referred to as a "skinny repeal" bill, would repeal the Affordable Care Act's individual and employer mandates and temporarily repeal the medical device tax. The bill would also give states more flexibility to allow insurance that doesn't comply with Obamacare regulations. Please use this thread to discuss developments related to this evening's Senate vote. submitted by /u/PoliticsModeratorBot [link] [comments] |
