Durbin Terms Proposed Repeal of ACA "Disastrous"

The US Senate is planning to take a vote today on the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Illinois US Senator Dick Durbin says a repeal would be disastrous with one Republican measure to replace the ACA ending health coverage for 22 million people, another for 32 million.

Along with those changes, Durbin says a pending massive cut to Medicaid funding would hurt seniors and families caring for elderly members.

Durbin also stressed that he wants to see the votes go through regular order in the Senate so debate and committees could be held on the possible changes.
