The bill also undermines the Affordable Care Act's protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Obama: It's 'Frustrating' To Have To Convince Lawmakers Not To Inflict 'Real Human Suffering'Former President Barack Obama said it's "frustrating to have to mobilize" so often to keep lawmakers from repealing the Affordable Care Act. Speaking at a Gates Foundation event on Wednesday, Obama addressed a health care bill Republicans are trying to hurry through Congress that could have major ramifications for millions of people.
