Other fiscal conservatives, including Sen. (R-Texas), Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), and Sen. (R-Fla.) have said that while they will support the resolution in favor of ACA repeal, they also are seeking assurances that the FY 2018 budget resolution will balance the budget. While there is a growing group of lawmakers who have expressed a preference for simultaneous repeal and replace, no one has yet to commit to voting against repeal if their demands aren’t met. Some have also suggested that a broad outline for replacement, rather than full legislative text, would be sufficient in quelling concerns about moving forward with repeal.

he budget resolution passed its first procedural vote for consideration in the Senate by a vote of 51-48. This sets the Tchamber up for a marathon voting session – fifty hours of debate known as vote-a-rama – during which Democrats plan to use every hour to force votes on politically charged amendments regarding health care policy. The vote-a-rama is expected to begin on Wednesday. While the final Senate vote may be close, the vote on the House floor vote is not expected to be. Republicans hold 241 seats compared to Democrats’ 194 seats in the House. House Republicans hope to complete the reconciliation process and have a repeal bill on the President’s desk by February 20. President-elect Trump has said that he plans to move forward with executive actions to immediately start the transition away from the ACA following his inauguration, but the incoming administration has not offered any details on what those actions may entail.

AMA Urges Construction of ACA Replacement

he American Medical Association (AMA) has asked Congress to wait to repeal the (ACA) until Ta replacement to the 2010 health care law has been designed. “We believe that before any action is taken through reconciliation or other means that would potentially alter coverage, policymakers should lay out for the American people, in reasonable detail, what will replace current policies,” Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President James L. Madara, M.D. wrote, in a letter to congressional leadership. He asserts that a replacement plan should maintain health insurance coverage, and that the public should have the opportunity to compare new measures to the ACA’s existing provisions. The letter is the AMA’s strongest position so far on Republican plans to dismantle the law.

Obama, Pence Strategize on ACA

resident Obama and Vice President-elect Mike Pence headed to Capitol Hill last week to meet with their respective Pparties to strategize about the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The President told Democrats that they should stress the benefits of his signature health care law to constituents, and defend the improvements the ACA has made to Medicare solvency. The meeting was a part of an effort by Democrats to delay repeal of the law for as long as possible, and to inflict political damage on those seeking to undo it. Pence rallied the House Republican Conference around the majority’s current agenda, at the top of which is repeal of the ACA.

House Formally Elects Leadership
