Delay to GOP healthcare plan

On Sunday, July 16, 2017 the Washington Post published an article titled GOP opponents to Senate health-care bill see vote delay as an advantage

With a Republican president and majority legislative branch, the GOP has full range of power to finally modify the healthcare plan Obama instilled which conservatives have heavily criticized and openly disdained ever since its proposal. Although the Republicans have control over both the executive and legislative branch and are well in position to repeal and replace the affordable care act, their plans have been unsuccessful and fruitless thus far. Their first proposal of their version of the health care plan was hugely unpopular and generally met with discontent. Now there has been a delay to vote on the latest version of the GOP healthcare bill due to John McCain’s blood clot surgery and critics of the replacement bill see the delay as an opportunity to rally more support against it. Healthcare is one of the most important contemporary political topics that affects every American citizen and spans across more than the countries health sector as it dramatically alters the country’s and personal budgets as well. It is important to be aware of the happenings of the GOP plans as the passing of their bill may have great ramifications.
