While the "dry facts" are somewhat well presented, this article seems to be completely lacking in any discussion of the real importance of this bill -- which I suggest is that the chaos surrounding the now-three attempts to even get it to the House floor have both split a previously-solid Republican majority and, for the President's first 100 days, largely paralyzed Congress. This is not at all an inconsequential occurrence, because of its domestic and international repercussions (such as contributing to a loss of faith in the U.S.'s ability to act decisively).

== Comparison between ACA and AHCA Chart Pre-Existing Conditions ==

While both ACA and AHCA ban discrimination on pre-existing conditions, it should be highlighted in the chart that AHCA allows insurers to charge additional premiums based on pre-existing conditions, whereas ACA does not. It's a pretty big difference, especially considering the premium multiplier for certain conditions might be x3,500% under AHCA.--[[Special:Contributions/12.233.203.201|12.233.203.201]] ([[User talk:12.233.203.201|talk]]) 17:26, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

CBO Projections

The current article states that "Under both current law and the AHCA, CBO assumes the health exchange marketplaces would remain stable (i.e., no "death spiral")." -- and then sites the CBO report. This is incorrect b/c the CBO does not assume they will be stable but projects they will be stable. This can be verified on page 2 of the CBO report sited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.142.150 (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Revised Bill & CBO Score

I narrowly contribute to this article, and probably don't have the time to look through the edit history. Do the ACA/AHCA comparisons account for the last minute revisions to the AHCA? Also, the CBO released a revised score – same amount will become uninsured, but it will be costlier than expected – has that been included? I think for posterities' sake it would be good to keep original AHCA language/CBO score and add commentary about revisions. Classicwiki (talk) 17:12, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The changes mentioned in your source are from the early version of AHCA to the current AHCA to try to win more votes from factions within the Republican party, not changes from PPACA to AHCA. JRSpriggs (talk) 05:01, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

DeBonis reference

Reference 29. ab Mike DeBonis, Kelsey Snell & Sean Sullivan, bamacare revision clears two House committees as Trump, others tried to tamp down backlash, Washington Post (March 9, 2017). Second reference may or may not be correct. I would appreciate checking by another editor.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 21:22, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Need a Discussion of the Domestic and Geopolitical Repercussions?

While the "dry facts" are somewhat well presented, this article seems to be completely lacking in any discussion of the real importance of this bill -- which I suggest is that the chaos surrounding the now-three attempts to even get it to the House floor have both split a previously-solid Republican majority and, for the President's first 100 days, largely paralyzed Congress. This is not at all an inconsequential occurrence, because of its domestic and international repercussions (such as contributing to a loss of faith in the U.S.'s ability to act decisively). 71.175.164.75 (talk) 15:08, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
