Washington, DC — Former President Donald Trump says he still wants to repeal ObamaCare and replace it with something better, but Senator Chuck Grassley suggests Senate Republicans have little interest in reviving the effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law in 2010. Trump endorsed a plan to undo regulations in the law and end the federal subsidies to individuals buying private insurance, but it failed in the US Senate in 2017. Grassley, who voted for the repeal in 2017, says it would be nice if Trump tuned in to some of the stuff Senate Republicans are focused on now.
Grassley has been working on bipartisan legislation to crack down on pharmacy benefit managers which critics say unfairly drive up prices and are driving rural pharmacies out of business.
