AbakwaRepublic Republican kubikwa ukuthi badonse umthethosivivinywa kaMengameli uTrump wokunakekelwa kwezempilo ngoLwesihlanu ntambama, imizuzu ngaphambi kokuba iNdlu ibekelwe ukuvota ngalolu hlelo olusha. Umthetho i-American Health Care Act (AHCA) ekuqaleni wawuthathwe njengempendulo ye-GOP ku-Obamacare, owokuqala ohlelweni lwezigaba ezintathu lokuwususa. Esitatimendeni esithunyelwe izintatheli ngoLwesihlanu, uSomlomo weNdlu uPaul Ryan uvumile ukuthi "kunamaphutha ngokuyisisekelo" futhi ngenxa yalokho akuqoqanga amavoti angama-216 ebedingeka ukwedlula.

Selokhu kwethulwa lo mthethosivivinywa ekuqaleni kukaMashi, womabili amalungu e-GOP eCongress abonisa ukungahambisani nokuphathwa kwezempilo kwaseMelika-abanye bethi lo mthethosivivinywa wawusababambe ngesandla abantu baseMelika kanti abanye bephikisana ngokuthi uzoshiya izigidi zingenamshwalense. Noma kunjalo, ukungabi bikho kokuvota ngokuphelele kushaqisile eWashington futhi kwaba yigalelo elikhulu kumaRephabliki, afunge ukuthi azoguqula i-Obamacare selokhu yaqala ukwenziwa eminyakeni eyisikhombisa eyedlule. Kungushintsho olungeluhle neze kuMongameli uTrump, owakhankasa kakhulu kuleso sithembiso.

Pho yini ngempela engahambanga kahle futhi kwenzekani manje?

Uma amaRiphabhulikhi eneningi eNdlu, kungani bengakwazanga ukwenza ukuthi umthethosivivinywa wenzeke?

Kalula nje, iqembu alikwazanga ukuvumelana. I-ACHA yehlulekile ukuthola ukugunyazwa yibo bonke abaholi be-GOP, futhi empeleni, yazuza ukudelelwa ngumphakathi kwabaningi babo. Imibuthano emibili ehlukene endlini yamaRiphabhulikhi yaphikisana namaRephabliki alinganiselayo kanye neFreedom Caucus (iqembu elenziwe ngabasebenzi abasebenza kanzima ngo-2015).

Yini ababengayithandi ngakho?

Amanye amalungu eqembu akhathazekile ngokuthi lolu hlelo luzodala ukuthi iningi labo lilahlekelwe ukunakekelwa kwezempilo, noma likhokhele imali eyengeziwe yomshwalense. Ngempela umbiko ovela ehhovisi le-Congressional Budget Office elingahambisani neqembu ngesonto eledlule lithole ukuthi okungenani abantu abayizigidi eziyi-14 bazolahlekelwa ukumbozwa ngonyaka ka-2018 uma uhlelo luqala ukusebenza-isibalo, balinganisela ukuthi, lokho bekungafinyelela ezigidini ezingama-21 ngonyaka ka-2020. Umbiko ofanayo uthole ukuthi amaphrimiyamu azovuka ekuqaleni, kepha kungenzeka awele eminyakeni elandelayo.

Amanye amaRiphabhulikhi abona sengathi i-AHCA ifana kakhulu ne-Obamacare. Amalungu amathathu e-Freedom Caucus, iningi lawo elingaziwa, athe lo mthethosivivinywa awenzanga okwanele ukwehlisa ukubandakanyeka kukahulumeni kwezokunakekelwa kwezempilo, awuqambe ngokuthi “Obamacare Lite” ngokwehluleka kwawo ukuguqula lonke uhlelo.

Nakuba i-AHCA ifake izinhlinzeko zokunciphisa uxhaso lukahulumeni lwe-Medicaid futhi isuse izinhlawulo zokungabhalisi enguqulweni ethile yokunakekelwa kwezempilo, i-Freedom Caucus ayizange icabange ukuthi lokhu kwakwanele. Esikhundleni salokho, bacele ukuthi kususwe "izinzuzo ezibalulekile zokunakekelwa kwezempilo" ezazenziwe yi-Obamacare-kufaka phakathi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, izinsizakalo zokubeletha.

Ngakho, kwenzekani ekunakekelweni kwezempilo manje?

Empeleni, lutho. USomlomo weNdlu uPaul Ryan ukuqinisekisile namuhla ukuthi i-Obamacare izoqhubeka nokuba uhlelo lokunakekelwa kwezempilo lwaseMelika. "Kuzohlala kungumthetho wezwe kuze kube kushintshwa," etshela izintatheli ngoLwesihlanu. "Sizohlala ne-Obamacare ngekusasa elibonakalayo." Lokhu kusho ukuthi ingcebo yezinsizakalo zabesifazane ezinikezwa ngaphansi kwalolu hlelo izohlala ingashintshi-kubandakanya ukufinyelela kwamahhala kokuvikela ukukhulelwa nokutholakala kwezinsizakalo zokubeletha.

Ingabe lokho kusho ukuthi Ubuzali Obuhleliwe buphephile futhi?

Kulungile! Lo mthethosivivinywa ubandakanya ukuhlinzekwa okuyimpikiswano obekunganciphisa imali ku-Planned Parenthood okungenani unyaka owodwa. Siyabonga ngabantu abayizigidi ezingu-2.5 abathembele ezinsizeni zayo—okuhlanganisa ukuhlolelwa umdlavuza, ukuhlolwa kwe-STI, nama-mammograms—lokhu ngeke kwenzeke.

Ngabe uMongameli uTrump uzozama ukuqhubekisela phambili lo mthethosivivinywa noma omunye onjengawo?

Ngokwalokho kuzwakala kunje, cha. Ngemuva kwamahora nje kukhanselwe ivoti, uTrump utshele i- Washington Post ukuthi akahlose ukuyiveza futhi-ngaphandle kokuthi amaDemocrats afuna ukusondela kuye ngokuthile okusha. "Uzovumela izinto zibe ekunakekelweni kwezempilo," the Washington Post Intatheli itshele iMSNBC. "Umthethosivivinywa ngeke uphinde uvele, okungenani esikhathini esizayo esiseduze."
