YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

As the Congressional Budget Office projects 24 million people will lose health insurance coverage by 2026 under the Republican plan to replace the Affordable Care Act, we look at who stands to benefit from the law. Lee Fang, investigative journalist at The Intercept, talks about how the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and the forprofit medical industry is backing the plan despite opposition from health providers. Plus, we look at how the bill is just the first of a threepart plan to repeal Obamacare.
