Republican Lawmakers are a Little Nervous About Repealing Obamacare C10-3

President Trump and most Republicans in the House and Senate have stated multiple times that the Affordable Care Act, more widely known as Obamacare, needs to be repealed. President Trump said during his campaign it would be one of the first issues on the agenda with him as President. However, now that he has won the presidency, Congress is feeling a lot of pressure.

During the Republican Policy retreat last week in Philadelphia, a repeal act was spoken about behind closed doors in private meetings. What was discussed was then leaked to the press via an anonymous email. Many Senators are very unsure what the solution will be. There were multiple ideas that were floated around the meeting, and one that stuck out would be raising taxes on the middle class, or receiving health care through their employers.
