The White House launched a new website Wednesday focused on repealing and replacing Obamacare.
“Obamacare has led to higher costs and fewer health insurance options for millions of Americans. The 2010 health care law has brought the American people rising premiums, unaffordable deductibles, fewer insurance choices and higher taxes,” the website states. “President Donald J. Trump promised to repeal and replace this disaster, and that is exactly what he is working with Congress to achieve.”

The new site features a video listing four ways Obamacare has failed the American people, including through higher costs, fewer choices, fewer covered and less freedom.
The site also lists an “Obamacare Fact of the Day,” with Thursday’s stating that 94 out of 99 counties in Iowa may have one insurance company selling coverage on Obamacare’s exchange next year.
Repealing and replacing Obamacare tops the list of legislative priorities for the GOP-led Congress and the White House.
But efforts to dismantle the healthcare law slowed after the House passed their bill, called the American Health Care Act, in May.
Republicans in the Senate have since been working on their own plan, but Democrats have scrutinized the process by which the GOP is drafting its bill, arguing it’s been done in secret and lacks transparency.
Trump met with 13 senators at the White House last week to discuss the healthcare bill and urged them to improve the House-passed plan, which he said was “mean.”
Senate Republicans are planning to unveil their healthcare bill Thursday.
