Trump’s Renewed Push to Dismantle Obamacare Draws Strong Reactions

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, championed by President Donald Trump and recently cleared by the House, is catching criticism as a softened version of Obamacare repeal, often dubbed “Obamacare Repeal Lite.” Critics warn that it threatens Medicaid coverage for millions, targeting low-income and disabled individuals. Political commentator Philip Rocco describes the current GOP approach as an attempt to avoid the backlash from 2017 when aggressive repeal efforts backfired politically. Amidst this, opinions remain divided: around two-thirds of Americans favor the Affordable Care Act (ACA), while many acknowledge inefficiencies in government health programs. The proposed legislation could leave approximately 9 million without insurance by 2034, raising concerns about healthcare accessibility among vulnerable populations.
