News Blog C11-4: Repealing Obamacare

On Wednesday February 8 The Huffington Post

wrote an article following Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and his comments on repealing the Affordable Care Act. Rayna say that he believes and hopes that the legislating for the replacement of the Affordable Care Act will be completed by the end of this year. However the legislating may be completed by the end of the year but implementing is when change starts to happen. Ryan told FoxNews in an interview that it may be until next year that the implementation  of the replacement law will take effect. Part of the replacement law is to lower drug prices by having the government to negotiate with drug companies directly on prices to be paid by the medicare program. While republicans didn't wait long after Trump was inaugurated to start legislating the repeal of Obamacare they did miss the deadline of January 27 which was the date set originally. Nevertheless Republicans want to complete this as fast as possible.
