For seven years, conservative groups pushed and cheered Republican members of Congress to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. “For seven years the GOP lied to the American people,” Citizens for the Republic executive vice president Martha Boneta of Citizens for the Republic said. “This is more than failure, it's a slap in the face to the millions of Americans who will suffer under the burden of Obamacare." On a 51-49 vote early Friday morning, the U.S. Senate defeated the so-called “skinny repeal” of the ACA. But improving health care is far too important to simply move on from, and we urge Congress to stay focused on delivering the repeal and reform Americans deserve.”
