Even if Senate Republicans seem to be mellowing on the idea of going forward with an immediate repeal, an enormous range of benefits are at risk.

Susan Collins from Maine isn't ready without more information about the replacement, but that isn't so much of a surprise as the fact that Senators Paul, Cotton, and Corker agree they need to see a replacement before repeal.

Applying fees successfully changed behavior of hospitals with high rates of patients who had trouble after leaving care.

Hillary Clinton's goal was to double the child tax credit to spur childcare, an important public health investment, "the most important investment in lifelong health and well-being." 

Universal childcare was almost a reality in the United States not once but twice, once in the '40s and then again in the '70s. Today, it remains highly inaccessible for working families, with “childcare deserts” in half the ZIP codes in a recent study.

Universal childcare remains a political goal, though of course we don’t have much to look forward to from the White House on that front.
