House GOP releases bill replacing Obama health care overhaul

WASHINGTON  — House Republicans have released their long-awaited bill dismantling much of former President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. It's called the American Health Care Act. The measure would roll back the government's health care role and is expected to result in fewer people having insurance coverage.

House committees planned votes on the legislation Wednesday, March 8th. That will launch perhaps the year's defining battle in Congress, and GOP success is by no means assured because of internal divisions.
