in the last minute negotiations, what the white house and leadership extended to these conservatives, house freedom caucus members, are doing away with these essential health benefits. this is everything from maternity coverage, hospitalization, drug prescriptions, all of these things are now going away in this house bill. and all of this of course will decide if conservatives, moderates, it actually be able to get on board this bill and support it when the vote happens this afternoon. mj, thanks so much. sanjay, why don t we start with where mj left off, these essential health benefits. it s very important to get these conservative members of the house freedom caucus on board. what does this mean for folks at home? i think this is probably the biggest issue i think from the patient s perspective, from the people who are actually using the health care system. as mj talked about, what happened was when the affordable care act was being negotiated and subsequently passed, they said w
