AHCA

AHCA stands for the American Health Care Act, a legislative proposal aimed at changing the U.S. healthcare system. It sought to alter existing laws related to how healthcare is funded and accessed, including changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The AHCA aimed to reduce healthcare costs by limiting some federal funding and decreasing regulations on insurance companies, which could lead to increased premiums and fewer coverage options for some individuals. It was part of ongoing debates about balancing healthcare affordability, access, and government involvement, but it was not enacted into law as originally proposed.
