<P> On May 4 , 2017 , the United States House of Representatives voted to pass the American Health Care Act by a narrow margin of 217 -- 213 , sending the bill to the Senate for deliberation . It was passed as a budget reconciliation bill that is part of the 2017 federal budget process ; if this status is upheld by the Senate Parliamentarian , then no Senate filibuster will be permitted and passage of the bill in the Senate will require only a simple majority of votes . It would repeal the parts of the Affordable Care Act within the scope of the federal budget , including provisions contained within the Internal Revenue Code such as the `` individual mandates '' ( in IRC § 205 ) , employer mandates ( in IRC § 206 ) and various taxes ( IRC § 201 et . seq . ) , and also modifications to the federal Medicaid program ( in Sections 111 - 116 and 121 ) . </P>
