Healthcare’s Future in the Senate

After being resuscitated by sheer willpower, the American Health Care Act of 2017 is breathing again. Thanks to what was undoubtedly a tremendous effort by President Trump, Speaker Ryan, and several others, the plan to repeal and replace Obamacare has passed the House and now heads to the Senate.
