UPDATE: Since the episode aired (like the very next day) the Congressional Budget Office came out with their assessment of the American Healthcare Act. It was not positive. Stay tuned to the second part of this episode coming out on Monday, March 20, where we will discuss what they had to say. _________________ Over the past week, we've finally gotten to take a look at the elusive Republican healthcare plan, the proposed replacement for Obamacare.

In this episode we talk about the faults opponent found with Obamacare, and how the proposed plan, which we call Trumpcare, attempts to address those issues.

This is the first installment of a two-part episode on Trumpcare, so be sure to listen this week and next week to get our full analysis.
