President Trump on Dec. 5 said that “we’re a long way toward getting rid of” the Affordable Care Act. Trump said he would replace the ACA with “something very good and very much more affordable.”
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) on Dec. 1 said the GOP tax bill is “a dagger in the heart of the Affordable Care Act.” The bill would repeal a provision of the ACA establishing penalties for people who don’t have health insurance.
