throughout the campaign president-elect trump said he would repeal and replace obama care. and now it is possible he could try, so how is the law repealed? good question. heather is looking into this.
so affordable care about passed in 2010. i think congress has been trying to repeal it or modify it or do something to it since then. they have. they have tried, in fact, more than five dozen times they have
tried to repeal all of it, sometimes just parts of it. and these are mostly symbolic measures because congress always knew that president obama would stand in its way. can he do isn't it? we will be able to immediately repeal and replace
oh billiona care. by himself? no. i don't know how he is doing any of the things that he has promised to do. he is going to have to get the house and the senate to agree with him in order to do
that. in general you appeal a law. you have to get a majority of both houses of congress and then it goes to the president for a possible veto. and now we have president trump come hog is asking us to do this.
he has a republican house and a republican senate. yeah. so if probably can. but there has to be more steps than just saying we're going do it. however, there is an especially senate rule called
the filibuster rule. where any senator can put a block on even considering the law. [ and the only way to break it is to get 60 senators. which the republicans don't have. but there is a potential
work around to the filibuster rule. it is called a reconciliation bill. kit only eliminate parts of a law that have to do with the budget, like getting rid of the subsidies or the fines for not having health insurance.
that just requires 50 votes in the senate. another thing congress sometimes does is they just cut off the money, and that could functionally at least depending on the statute, that could have a very devastating impact as well.
but it wouldn't repeal the it wouldn't repeal the law. do you think that obama care will be repealed? i have no idea. i think there is some motivation, even amongst the democrats to change. will it be changed?
yes. usually you would repeal it and say and we're doing this and coming up what the replacement is going to be the very hard thing. because not everyone agree what is the replacement should be.
right. in fact, i think there is wild disagreement. won't this be fun? and the budget bill, it can't be used to eliminate those preexisting condition requirement toker provision that lets people stay on their
insurance when they're under 26 years old on their parents shorn, so really whatever happens in terms of repealing, it could get messy and it is in the always that politically easy to take away a public benefit like giving millions of people access to health care
insurance that they didn't have before if you don't have a good replacement for it. it will be tricky. it will be very, very tricky. because you have 22 million people that we're talking about here.
like that man says, it will be interesting. it will be fun. that is one word for it. thank you. and if you have a good
