Though Republicans have continually pushed for a full repeal of the law, Obama’s re-election marked the next step in its implementation. Each state is required to decide whether to set up its own health care exchange – where individuals and small businesses can purchase affordable health care, subsidizing insurance for low-income consumers – or choose to have the federal government manage the state’s exchange.

Boehner: Obamacare On Table for ‘Fiscal Cliff’ Talks
As congressional leaders and President Barack Obama search for common
ground to tame the national debt as the weeks dwindle down to end of
the year, House Speaker John Boehner said the Affordable Care Act, often
referred to as Obamacare, must be included in deficit negotiations.
“We
can’t afford it, and we can’t afford to leave it intact,” Boehner wrote
of Obama’s signature healthcare initiative in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
“That’s why I’ve been clear that the law has to stay on the table as
both parties discuss ways to solve our nation’s massive debt challenge.”
