No, Obamacare passed a long time ago. Since then, the Republicans have been doing everything they can to try to repeal it, including calling for a vote on the repeal 40+ times even though they lose every time.
Recently they tried some tricky maneuvering where they tried to simply take away the funding for the major parts of Obamacare--as in, 'it may still be law, but there's no money for it so good luck trying to implement it.' How they arranged this was complicated, but they basically tried to force the government to choose between taking away all the money for Obamacare, or shutting down the government.
Last I'd heard, their attempt failed and the funding was as safe as it's ever been. The argument is currently in the forefront because while certain parts of the bill have been phasing in over the last two years, the biggest and most dramatic parts go into effect in a few days, October 1st.
You should look into what it might mean for you, John, there are a lot of changes (good ones) for people with permanent disabilities in there.
