Republicans have finally completed a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, the American Healthcare Act (AHCA), and criticism has come from both sides of the isle. The bill is seeing considerable opposition from not only political figures but also corporations in the healthcare industry. Liberals argue that the bill threatens to rob millions of people of their healthcare plans while conservatives contend that the bill has not gone far enough in the direction opposite the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The new GOP healthcare bill has already earned the approval of multiple committees in the House of Representatives. One of the latest in a string of industry experts to speak on the subject is Dr. J. Mario Molina, CEO of Molina Healthcare, which is a sizable California-based health plan provider for millions of people.

Molina publicly stands against the proposed bill that Republicans are now attempting to push through Congress with the support of President Trump who promised to repeal and replace Obamacare in favor of superior healthcare legislation. According to Dr. Molina, his company is dealing with many patients who are setting up appointments with their doctors for, in several cases, no other reason than that they fear they are mere months away from losing coverage. They want to accomplish as much as they can in the way of healthcare while they can still afford to see to their needs.
