The House of Representatives took the first step last week toward attaining a long-desired goal—the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The American Health Care Act (AHCA) (H.R. 1628) Passed the House on May 4, 2017, in a 217–213 party-line vote. The Republican-sponsored bill removes many of the tenets of the ACA and implements funding changes to premium tax credits and the Medicaid program, among other health care provisions.
U.S. small business owners have largely supported efforts to amend the ACA, and the AHCA—if passed—would bring several changes to the small business community.
In this post, we’ll cover the history of the AHCA, its major provisions, what must happen to make it law, and how its passage would affect small Businesses.
