If the American Health care act is passed, which the republican plan that was passed over in the house, many West Virginians will lose their current insurance coverage. Individuals on the Medicaid Expansion would not be guaranteed coverage after 20 20. That means anybody who has gotten insurance for the first time, theres no guarantee they can keep it at all. The American Hospital Association Estimates that 68,200 West Virginians will lose their Health Care Coverage in 2018 and more will be without medicaid coverage by 2026.

We have learned that seven people were in the truck. Now two of them, one female, another male, are dead. Take a look at the video. It all started at 8 00 this morning. Police say this gmc truck with seven people inside was speeding south on park street when it clipped a Toyota Sienna minivan. The impact caused the truck to go out of control and hit a tree before coming to rest in the parking lot of alameda bicycle, a full block away. A female in the truck died at the scene.
