Trump Revives Push to Repeal Obamacare Despite Historical Unpopularity

Biden's campaign warns of potential loss of health insurance for millions, as majority of Americans support the Affordable Care Act.

  • Former President Donald Trump has revived his push to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, signaling it as a priority for him if he returns to the White House.
  • Trump's move comes despite the fact that efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare during his term were historically unpopular, and the law has gained more popularity since then.
  • Polls show that a majority of Americans support the ACA, with a Washington Post review showing just 22% of Americans supported GOP's efforts to replace Obamacare, while 55% opposed them.
  • President Joe Biden's re-election campaign has responded to Trump's statement, warning that Trump's return to power could result in the loss of health insurance for more than 1 in 10 Americans.
  • Despite Trump's claims, the ACA costs are not spiraling out of control and the law has been largely settled with GOP lawmakers and presidential candidates abandoning their 'repeal and replace' rhetoric.
