GOP's new Obamacare plan has Washington insurance chief worried
Efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act are ramping up again. Some GOP leaders are hoping for a vote this week on their amended plan to replace Obamacare.
And that has Washington state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler worried.
He's heading to the nation's capital this week to meet with members of the state's congressional delegation.
He told KUOW's Kim Malcolm that while one aspect of the plan won't have a huge effect on Washingtonians, others will.
