Universal coverage reforms in the USA: From Obamacare through Trump

Since the election of Donald Trump as President, momentum towards universal health care coverage in the United States has stalled. Most notable was the repeal of the individual mandate to purchase health insurance in late December 2017. However, outright repeal of President Obama ’s signature piece of legislation – the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – has not yet come to pass. Though the Republican Party controls the Presidency and both Houses of Congress, attempts at wholesale repeal and replacement of the ACA during the summer and early fall of 2017 failed.
