Republican Senate aides are said to be drafting the upper chamber's version of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) to replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) this week while Congress is on break.

Some Connecticut residents are speaking out against the Republican health care bill that was recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and is now before the U.S. Senate.
With polls showing that only about 1 in 5 Americans support the House bill, Republicans have many issues to resolve. Thirteen percent said they didn't or refused to respond. It was the latest in an ongoing series of Kaiser polls on health care.
The AHCA has faced an uphill battle since passing the House on May 4 with a razor-thin 217-213 margin - including a damning report three weeks later from the nonpartisan CBO, which projected insurance premiums could skyrocket for patients with pre-existing conditions.

Under the House bill, those factors are no longer considered, which would cut the tax credits by thousands of dollars for older adults. Obscured by foggy notions of improved fiscal flexibility for states and broader insurance choices for individuals, the AHCA will in fact hamstring state budgets and wipe out coverage in ways that endanger the health of thousands of Iowans and the financial viability of the 118 community hospitals they count on.
