Key GOP Chair Is Slowly Getting His Way On Obamacare

On Tuesday night, HELP Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-TN) delivered the most detailed plan yet we've heard from a Republican since the election on how to repeal and replace Obamacare. 

Alexander's points were clear.

He urged the federal government to keep giving subsidies to insurers to cover low income people. You can read more about what it does here....
