Two major proposals emerged last week to replace the Affordable Care Act that differ significantly in both content and potential impact.

Clearly, both of these proposals represent initial offerings that will be modified or even replaced by others as Republican lawmakers tackle the difficult task of fixing a flawed and controversial law. The ACA offers important protections yet requires modification into a sustainable model that supports both insurance providers and those most in need of healthcare services.

Clearly the work on replacing the ACA has just begun.
