Synopsis

As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell struggles to find 50 Republican 'yes' votes for health care reform, he has delayed a vote on his plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act until after the July 4 recess. McConnell will unveil an updated bill on Friday that he hopes will appease both conservative and moderate members of his caucus.

How does the revised Senate bill compare to the status quo under Obamacare? And how will people across the country be impacted by any proposed reforms? Robert Costa will discuss the policy and consequences of health care reform with:

Sarah Kliff of Vox

Nancy Cordes of CBS News

Michael Scherer of TIME Magazine

Yamiche Alcindor of The New York Times
