Senate Republicans on Tuesday announced they plan to act quickly to strip away Obamacare's funding while leaving elements of the program in place for two or three years.
The move would put them in lockstep with House Republicans, and would enable President-elect Donald Trump to sign a bill effectively repealing the program on his first day in office. Democrats promptly warned that the move would destabilize insurance markets in the short term and deprive millions of people of coverage in the long term, causing a “huge calamity” for America as well as for the Republican Party.
