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

Does Obamacare have a future after all?

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

After six years of promises to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, Republicans

have won the power to begin the process today. But in both houses, the GOP is divided. One side

worries that supporters of President Trump may be among the millions who lose health insurance. The

other says the new plan doesn't go far enough and complain its toughest provisions

later, are immigrants doing forced labor at private prisons.
