Last month, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed the American Health Care Act (AHCA). The legislation would effectively repeal and replace key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The bill, which the House approved on May 4, is based on compromises that were made after the original bill was pulled from the House floor in March. Two amendments helped bridge the ideological divide between the House Freedom Caucus and moderate Republican legislators. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) scored the House bill at the end of May.
