Were live on capitol hill in the Longworth House Office building for a meeting in the house ways and Means Committee as they consider the republican legislation to replace the nations healthcare law that was signed by president obama back in 2010. The republican bill would keep two popular provisions of the 2010 healthcare law, those allowing children to stay on their parents insurance until 26 and also to cover people with preexisting conditions. Among the major changes to the healthcare law, eliminating subsidies for Health Insurance premiums and replacing them with tax credits and getting rid of the individual mandate that every american have Health Insurance.
