Senators say Obamacare repeal not likely in one piece
Iowa senators Grassley and Ernst say the repeal of the Affordable Care Act will come in two steps via reconciliation rather than a full root-and-branch repeal. They warn the House plan could jeopardize coverage for about 23 million, with the Senate drafting its own approach and a potential stopgap for 2018. Ernst highlights Iowa's fragile insurer presence and provider losses amid ACA uncertainty.
