Description

For seven years, Republicans have vowed to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare), and that promise took a central place in President Trump's campaign. The first major vote to replace it was due to happen last week, but was cancelled at the 11th hour.

In advance of the potential vote, The BMJ published a debate asking "Should US doctors mourn for Obamacare?". Now we're asking the authors of that debate, what next?

Joining Peter Doshi are Adam Gaffney, from Harvard Medical School and Saurabh Jha from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
