The ACA at a Turning Point Two Repeal Options on the TablePolicy Landscape Source: Advisory Board interviews and analysis. Piecemeal Change Changes to specific components of the ACA; most likely through budget reconciliation which only requires a majority vote in Congress Wholesale Immediate Repeal A full repeal of the ACA through a congressional vote in both the House and the Senate Potentially requires filibuster proof majority in Senate Budget reconciliation options limit repeal to tax-related measures May have to contend with widespread industry pushback Must contend with Republican governors in states supporting Medicaid expansion Complicated by entangled ACA policies Requires line-item specific transition planning Key Considerations of Each Approach
