For all the complaints about how the 2010 Affordable Care Act has shaped American health care, the various stakeholders in the US health care systemfrom hospitals to physicians to retirees to insurance companies to nurseshave said they dont like the GOPs plan to fix it.
Indeed, its hardly clear what problem this bill, known as the American Health Care Act, fixes. The current health care system has been criticized for not providing affordable options to middle-class purchasers of individual health insurance plans. But the Republican plan to replace subsidize marketplaces with refundable tax credits would shift costs to consumers in 48 US states, often by thousands of dollars, according to a Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analysis, and lead to tens of millions of Americans losing insurance coverage. And even that is seen as too generous by conservatives in the House, who dont want the government to have any role at all in subsidizing health insurance.
