Durbin Blasts Republican Appeal on Affordable Care Act

Senator Dick Durbin is on the attack against renewed Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Durbin says the new repeal effort has some wrinkles that rub him the wrong way.
 
 
Durbin says other changes would impact Americans with a bumpy health history...
 
 
Durbin says the repeal plan would mean the loss of health care coverage for 24 million Americans and $840 billion in federal Medicaid funding would be lost. 
 
Durbin says the updated Republican repeal bill is opposed by top health care associations, including the American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association, the American Heart Association, the American Nurses Association, and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).
