the affordable care act, dubbed "obamacare" by the right wing, was a law in 2010 which outlined healthcare subsidies and insurance coverage for over 20 million lower class americans. last week, the senate voted 51-48 to outline new obamacare policy, predictably to gut all funding. today the house voted in favor of that same bill, and so proceedings have begun to introduce a bill to formally repeal the affordable care act.
repealing obamacare is anticipated to cost $350 billion over the next decade and leave 20 million americans without health insurance.
