US EditionRepublicans Try Once Again to Repeal Obamacare
- Republicans are attempting to repeal and replace Obamacare quietly through provisions in the 2025 GOP budget bill known as the "Big Beautiful Bill."

- The bill’s passage could end enhanced healthcare tax credits expiring in 2025, risking premium hikes and loss of insurance for millions, prompting bipartisan calls for extension amid political and practical pressures.
