What happened

With Republican majorities in both chambers, the House pulled its first repeal bill on March 24, 2017 (Speaker Paul Ryan: 'Obamacare remains the law of the land'), and a Senate repeal bill also failed later in 2017. The 2017 tax law zeroed out the individual-mandate penalty, but the Affordable Care Act was never repealed or replaced; PolitiFact rated the promise 'Promise Broken' ('No repeal, no replace'). The number of uninsured Americans rose by about 3 million over his term.
