Of course, the Affordable Care Act has also imposed costs. But millions who now depend on those tax credits to make comprehensive coverage affordable would lose much of that assistance. Under the GOP schemes, the federal government would limit what it spends on Medicaid, offering states predetermined sums.

Neither program has accomplished the goal fully, and the Affordable Care Act in particular remains a wobbly enterprise.
