WSJ: Obamacare unlikely to be repealed in its entirety

NEW YORK - Although the GOP controls both houses, it is unlikely that they will be able to repeal Obamacare, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal published Wednesday. 

 

Instead, legislators will be seeking to repeal pieces of the Affordable Care Act, those pieces that are "deeply, deeply unpopular with the American people.”

 

"[Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.] cited the law’s tax on medical devices, its requirement that big employers provide insurance to all workers clocking 30 hours a week or more or pay a fee, and its mandate that most Americans carry insurance or pay a fee," the WSJ noted.
