In January 2016, Congress passed a bill repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) without a replacement that was vetoed by the president. Because considerable controversy exists among ACA opponents on what should replace the ACA, the prospect of repeal without replacement merits analysis. According to a new report from the Urban Institute, it is believed that by 2021 the number of uninsured would rise by 81% if the ACA were repealed.
