but obamacare is dead. later republican leaders will release their full care bill to repeal and replace the obamacare act. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> this bill's about 200 pages. it's called a discussion draft because they can still make changes based on feedback from their members and like the house bill, it's going to do away with large swaths of obamacare including the a diggsal mandate and expense. it would not cut medicaid as quickly as the house gop version would. it would also keep obamacare protections in place for people with pre-existing conditions and the tax credits in the senate bill for people on the

individual market would be based on income, not on age like the house bill so people who have less income would get more assistance. a key piece of data that we probably won't get today is an independent analysis from the congressional budget office. you'll recall that 23 million americans would lose coverage under the house bill, so republican senators are going to want to see what the cbo has to say before they decide how to vote on this bill. so republican leader, gayle, are hoping that the ceo weighs in on monday at the latest because they want to hold a vote next week. >> thank you very much, nancy. jared kushner is back in wisconsin after his first middle east trip. the president's son-in-law met with prime minister benjamin netanyahu about peace talks. he then met with mahmoud abbas in the west bank.
