INdlu yaseRiphabhlikhi kuthiwa yatsala umthetho kaMongameli uTrump wokhathalelo lwezempilo ngolwesiHlanu emva kwemini, kwimizuzu ngaphambi kokuba iNdlu ivotelwe kwisicwangciso esitsha. I-American Health Care Act (AHCA) yayiqale yaxhaswa njengempendulo ye-GOP ku-Obamacare, eyokuqala kwisicwangciso sesigaba esithathu sokuyibhangisa. Kodwa kwingxelo kwiintatheli ngolwesiHlanu, uSomlomo weNdlu uPaul Ryan uvumile ukuba "yayinempazamo" kwaye ngenxa yoko ayizange ifumane iivoti ezingama-216 ezifunekayo.

Ukusukela oko kwangeniswa nge-bill ekuqaleni kuka-Matshi, omabini amalungu e-GOP e-Conservative kunye ne-liberal ngakumbi abonakalise ukungavumelani nokuphathwa kwawo kwezempilo eMelika-abanye besithi umthetho osayilwayo usabambe abantu baseMelika nabanye besithi uzakushiya izigidi ngaphandle kweinshurensi. Nangona kunjalo, ukunqongophala kokuvota ngokupheleleyo kuye kwaba yinto eyothusayo eWashington kwaye njengesibetho esikhulu kubantu baseRiphabhlikhi, abenze isibhambathiso sokubhukuqa i-Obamacare ukusukela oko yasungulwa kwiminyaka esixhenxe eyadlulayo. Kukujika okungathandekiyo kweziganeko zika-Mongameli Trump, owakhankasela kakhulu eso sithembiso.

Ke yintoni engahambanga kakuhle kwaye kwenzeka ntoni ngoku?

Ukuba amaRiphabhlikhi anesininzi kwiNdlu, kutheni bengakwazi ukwenza ukuba ibhili yenzeke?

Ngamafutshane, iqela alivumelani. I-ACHA ayiphumelelanga ukufumana imvume yazo zonke iinkokeli ze-GOP, kwaye eneneni, yafumana ukudelelwa luluntu kuninzi lwazo. Izangqa ezibini ezahlukileyo kwindlu yeRiphabhlikhi zaziphikisa iiRiphabhlikhi ezilinganiselweyo kunye ne-Freedom Caucus (iqela elenziwe ngabantu abasebenza nzima kwi-2015).

Yintoni abangayithandiyo ngayo?

Amanye amalungu eqela anexhala lokuba isicwangciso siza kubangela uninzi lwabavoti bawo ukuba baphulukane nokhuseleko lwezempilo, okanye bahlawule ngaphezulu izavenge zeinshorensi. Ngokwenyani ingxelo evela kwiOfisi yoHlahlo-lwabiwo mali yeCongressional nonpartisan kwiveki ephelileyo ifumanise ukuba ubuncinci abantu abazizigidi ezili-14 bazakuphulukana nokugutyungelwa ngo-2018 ukuba isicwangciso siqale ukusebenza-inani, baqikelela, elinokuthi lifike kwizigidi ezingama-21 ngo-2020. Ingxelo efanayo ifumanise ukuba Iipremiyamu ziya kunyuka ekuqaleni, kodwa mhlawumbi ziwe kwiminyaka elandelayo.

Abanye abantu baseRiphabhlikhi bavakalelwa kukuba i-AHCA ifana kakhulu ne-Obamacare. Amalungu amathathu e-Freedom Caucus, uninzi lwawo olungaziwayo, athi umthetho oyilwayo awenzanga ngokwaneleyo ukunciphisa ukubandakanyeka kukarhulumente kwezempilo, bathi igama "Obamacare Lite" ngenxa yokusilela ukuguqula isicwangciso sonke.

Ngelixa i-AHCA ibandakanya izibonelelo zokunciphisa inkxaso-mali yomanyano kwiMedicaid kunye nokususa izohlwayo ngokungabhalisi kuhlobo oluthile lokhathalelo lwempilo, i-Freedom Caucus khange icinge ukuba yanele. Endaweni yoko, babize ukuba kususwe "izibonelelo zononophelo lwempilo ezibalulekileyo" ezazibekwe yi-Obamacare-kubandakanya, phakathi kwezinye izinto, iinkonzo zokubeleka.

Ke, kwenzeka ntoni kukhathalelo lwempilo ngoku?

Enyanisweni, akukho nto. USomlomo weNdlu uPaul Ryan uqinisekisile namhlanje ukuba i-Obamacare iya kuqhubeka ibe yinkqubo yokhathalelo lwempilo yaseMelika. "Izakuhlala ingumthetho womhlaba kude kufakwe omnye endaweni yawo," uxelele oonondaba ngolwe-Sihlanu. "Siza kuhlala ne-Obamacare ngekamva elibonakalayo." Oku kuthetha ukuba ubutyebi beenkonzo zabasetyhini ezinikezelwe phantsi kwesi sicwangciso ziya kuhlala zinjalo-kubandakanya ukufikelela simahla kuthintelo lokukhulelwa kunye nokugubungela iinkonzo zokubeleka.

Ngaba oko kuthetha ukuba uMzali oCwangcisiweyo ukhuselekile naye?

Lungile! Umthetho osayilwayo ubandakanya isibonelelo esinokuphikisana nesinokuphelisa inkxaso-mali kubuCwangcisi boMzali okungenani unyaka omnye. Ngombulelo kubantu abazizigidi ezi-2.5 abaxhomekeke kwiinkonzo zayo-ezibandakanya ukuhlolwa komhlaza, uvavanyo lwe-STI, kunye ne-mammograms-oku ngekhe kwenzeke.

Ngaba uMongameli uTrump uya kuzama ukutyhala le bhili okanye enye efana nayo kwakhona?

Ukusuka kwinto evakala ngathi, hayi. Kwiiyure nje ezimbalwa emva kokuba ivoti irhoxisiwe, uTrump uxelele IWashington Post ukuba akacwangcisi ukuyizisa kwakhona-ngaphandle kokuba iiDemokhrasi zifuna ukusondela kuye ngento entsha. "Uza kuvumela izinto ukuba zibe kukhathalelo lwempilo," the IWashington Post Intatheli ixelele iMSNBC. "Umthetho oyilwayo awuzukuza kwakhona, ubuncinci kungekudala."
