Obamacare: Affordable Care Act under threat in US

A legal case will kick off later on Tuesday in the United States, centred on healthcare.
A court will hear arguments in a challenge to the Affordable Care Act - commonly known as Obamacare - which started in 2010, providing low-cost health insurance to millions of citizens.
The Trump administration is trying to chip away at it, especially for those recipients who have so-called preexisting conditions.
Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo reports from the US state of New Jersey.

Obama care was the worst thing to happen to healthcare in America.

Get rid of Obama care and bring a better alternative

They passed national care in Canada, and the Canadians came to the US. Now Americans are going to Mexico for dental work. Pass an American national healthcare, and Americans will go to Mexico for healthcare.

No mention of Medicare for All? Nice job👎👎👎

Trump isn't the only one...my daughter hasn't been able to get health insurance under Obamacare and she has a brain Tumor...what's being proposed fixes that!!!

[rbtruckman]

I see senators and congressmen writing exemptions for the ACA mandates then you have no ACA news pundits state 1 million would be laid off without private insurance companies are these nonessential to healthcare?

The correct way is for doctors to charge much less and for children to pay for their old parents. Government should have to pay only for a few who have nobody to pay for them.

We should have single-payer. AKA Medicare for all. Also like Trump's idea of making the U.S. pay no more than other countries do for drugs.
