From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

It's now or never for a divided Republican Party.

Hello again, I'm Aranalny, and this is To the Point.

The White House says President Trump will watch and take names, says House Speaker

Paul Ryan tries to unite the GOP to repeal and replace Obamacare. Meantime, polls show more than half

the public's opposed to adding some 24 million people to the ranks of the uninsured. The House is

scheduled to vote later today and will look at the consequences one way or the other.

Will the president blame the speaker if the bill fails? If it passes the House, what's its chance in the Senate? There's a lot at stake, including the health of America's health care

system. Later on today's talking point, can the Great Barrier Reef be revived? First,

here's the news.

Hello again. I'm Mormon-Aulay, back with To the Point. President Trump has demanded a House vote today on replacing Obamacare, whatever the details might be.

Despite his campaign promised that nobody would lose health insurance, that would be possible for 24 million people if he were finally

to sign this bill into law. Today's talking point, Australia's Great Barrier Reef is not just

one of the world's great wonders. It's also food and livelihood for hundreds of millions of people.

Now one quarter of it has been killed by warming oceans. Is there any hope for revival?

First, this news update, today's public hearing by the House Intelligence Committee,

or Tuesdays, rather, has been canceled by Republican Chairman Devin Nunes.

Obama intelligence officials had been scheduled to testify.

Nunez was asked about including new witnesses.

We're not going to get into a neo-McCartheism era here where we just start bringing in Americans

because they were mentioned in a press story, and I am highly concerned about that.
