Winners And Losers: The Poor And Hospitals May Be Happy But High Earners Not So Much

Several news outlets take stock of how stakeholders will fare now that the House bill has been deep-sixed.

The old and the poor made out great when House Republicans failed Friday to dismantle Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. The rich and the almost rich didn't do so well. (Ohlemacher, 3/25)

After seven years and many promises, Republican leadership failed to get enough votes to pass legislation that would repeal the Affordable Care Act. The American Health Care Act was pulled before a single vote was cast. The move received mixed reactions from many who had a lot at stake under the bill. Here's a quick list of who won and lost as a result of the failed attempt to repeal Obamacare. (Meyer, 3/26)

Governors of both parties had warned Congress for weeks that the Republican health care bill threatened to saddle their states with big costs and potentially leave millions of people without coverage, especially because of the cutbacks planned to Medicaid. (Mulvihill, 3/25)

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said the GOP proposal to replace the 2010 Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare, was withdrawn because it did not have enough votes to pass. The biggest relief in Georgia may be felt by Atlanta鈥檚 Grady Health System, whose leaders estimated that the health care proposal would cost the safety-net provider $65 million annually. (Miller, 3/24)

Planned Parenthood, the national health organization that would have lost federal funding under sweeping healthcare overhaul legislation, views the withdrawal of the bill on Friday as a temporary reprieve, not the end of a threat to its existence. (Allen and Mincer, 3/24)
