Read the whole wiki page. The part about the existing bill was further up.
And I used the word "trick", not deception. I'm not aware of any deception, just the abuse of a process.
- Dylan16807 10y agoOh, I see. They replaced one bill with another long before they broke the filibuster. That replacement was to get around the "this bill must originate in the House" requirement. Getting past the filibuster was done completely legitimately. They shouldn't have done that, ideally, but the rule of which house a bill starts in is pretty unimportant. I don't see how reconciliation could be used to help repeal the act, because the reconciliation was not key to getting it passed, and neither was the trickery used to say the bill 'started' in the House.
- jljljl 10y agoYou don't have to repeal anything. You use the budget process to cancel all individual and employee mandate penalties, eliminate the relevant taxes and subsidies, and roll back funding for the Medicaid expansion. Then you just sit back and let it collapse on itself.
