On March 6, 2017, House Republicans in the Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Energy and Commerce introduced the American Health Care Act (AHCA), a bill that would repeal and replace key portions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The committees will begin considering changes to the bill on Wednesday, March 8, with the goal of passing it within a few weeks. If ultimately passed by Congress and signed into law, the AHCA bill would substantially change portions of the ACA, but it would not repeal the ACA in its entirety.
