Promise and Begin Replacing to restore state control of health care and get it out of washington. Shannon not all republicans are loving it some calling it obama care light. We have more reaction. What stays and what go . Uncle sam will no longer be able to fine somebody for not having insurance because the individual mandate disappears if the American Health care act replace the Affordable Health care act. The mandate go away too that requires employers to provide Health Insurance or face a fine and after 2020 medicaid coverage for residents in their states near the poverty line will be reduced.
