Trump tried to roll out and failed in passing his own health care act, which made a lot of people on the program sigh a breath of relief, mostly because a lot of them would be thrown off. The bill fell through in part because of the Freedom Caucus, a vestige of the Tea Party, who thought even with the removal of so many provisions, it wasn't bleeding Obamacare enough.

Regardless of what you feel about Obamacare, the Freedom Caucus had a point: We are $19 trillion in debt, and the majority of it goes to social security or healthcare. There is no way this is sustainable. Fixing the problem is to raise revenues and cut costs, but how? Revenue is taxes — and we already have the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world — but what about the costs? If we're throwing more people onto Medicaid, costs are going to increase exponentially.

We're going to have to make many tough decisions in the future, and quite frankly Congress (understandably so) doesn't want to deal with it. But it's better to deal with it now than later when the entire government is imploding after it runs out of money. I'm not certain kicking millions of people off Medicaid like the Freedom Caucus wants is the correct decision. Perhaps we could do better examinations like why healthcare is so goddamned expensive (e.g. not being able to determine prices of doing blood work between different locations, making hospitals more efficient). Either way, this decision is on the horizon.
