The future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) became increasingly uncertain following the 2016 election cycle. With Republicans in control of both Congress and the White House, there arose an opportunity to fulfill a long-standing campaign promise: to repeal and replace the ACA. To proceed with this assignment, review the summary of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) as provided by the Kaiser Foundation, alongside articles from the Commonwealth Fund and the Urban Institute, which offer assessments of the AHCA.

For this analysis, incorporate the following elements:

• Compare and differentiate the major provisions of the American Health Care Act with the existing provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
• Address the potential effects of the American Health Care Act on the health care system, including impacts on patients, providers, and payers.
• Provide a brief explanation as to why the American Health Care Act failed to garner the necessary support for enactment.
• Despite the absence of successful repeal/replace legislation, President Trump utilized executive powers to revise existing regulations and introduce new policies. Discuss these changes and their implications for the Affordable Care Act.
