one of them -- his new health and human services 9news reporter tarhonda thomas is in the information center with more. tarhonda, the health and human services secretary choice could mean a big change for those using the affordable care act. that's right. because the man "said to be" the "pick"-- has been one of the most outpoken opponents of the "affordable care act." price has been calling for an "end" to the act-- ever w imemented. president-elect trump promised to end so-called obamacare... ...though he says he's "open" to keeping some of the options... including protecting people with pre-existing we'll just have to wait to see what price does-- after???y republican leaders on capitol hill say-- they're ready to state." there's no word on when the president-elect could make his final decision on "secretary of state." an insider says-- trump has narrowed it down a man who was supposed to protect students at one high school -- is now banned from school grounds because of a possible sexual assault. 9news reporter andrew sorensen is in parker near ponderosa high school. andrews, no o

tarhonda, chelsea clinton is out here for her mom... trump has a new endorsement - the crusader -- a ku klux klan paper -- has devoted its republican nominee, saying the kkk and trump have shared values.. trump's campaign denounced the paper -- saying their views do not represent trump or the americans uniting behind his campaign." clinton is following suit - after trump's campaign announced they'd buy t-v ads in michigan and new mexico -- clinton said she's doing the same thing. those states typically vote democrat. clinton's campaign says it will spend more than 100- thousand dollars each of the two states. and it looks like her team has the money to do it. in the past three days, the democratic nominee has raised the most money she ever has since becoming the nominee -- over eleven million dollars. if google is any indication -- there may be a lot of people casting their ballots early. google trends announced that searches for the question 'where do i vote early' have reached an all-time high. more than 24- million people have voted

tarhonda, the possible cabinet interesting. they are. ...and they now include the man who created the phrase "trumpism." it wasn't a compliment. but-- now-- apparently.... that's "water under the brige" between donald trump and rick perry. the texas governor was one of trump's sharpest critics during the campaign. but the two were scheduled to meet yesterday... discussing the possiblity of perry joining trump's cabinet-- possibly as "secretary of defense." rudy guiliana... was first considered for "secretary of state"... but sources tell n-b-c news that he's now being considered intelligence." also on the 'short list'-- former kansas secretary of state kris kobach -- a hard-liner on immigration. b-e-t founder robert johnson also met with trump this weekend-- as a possible pick for "hud" or "education secretary." and, then, there's new jersey governor chris christie. despite being "dropped" as director of trump's transition team-- he's still "around." the two had a meeting this weekend... but trump wouldn't reveal much about whe

tarhonda -- denver is only one of three stops today... now as for ben carson -- he'll also make several today. oklahoma governor mary fallin will join him. the two republicans will rally in colorado springs at the classical academy at 1-30 -- and then at the plum creek golf course in castle rock at 3-15. later -- they'll head to aurora for an event at the center for active adults at candidates are touring the battleground states. today pennsylvania -- yesterday north carolina. while in carolina hillary clinton argued voters should take seriously -- that a trump presidency would lead to quote 'normalizing discrimination.' she was speaking to many african americans. in north carolina so far, not as many african americans have voted as in the last presidential election. democrats believe it's because of laws passed by republicans there. and just a few miles away -- donald trump was attacking hillary clinton. he gave a defense- themed speech while campaigning in north carolina. surrounded by a dozen veterans -- he said he can't picture clinto

tarhonda, right now more republicans have voted than democrats in one tiny new those votes. and the voters in dixville notch, new hampshire have chosen hillary clinton -- with four votes. donald trump got two votes and gary johnson got one. someone wrote in mitt romney -- he got one vote. dixville notch only cast 8 votes, and the election was completed in less than a minute. by the way in case you're wondering - the tiny town does not have a very good track record of predicting who the eventual winner will be. fighting crime one superhero is fighting for people to get out and vote. this captain america is hoping his star power will do a lot more than make people smile this election. steve rogers -- a- k-a 28-year-old matthew gnojek of thornton -- plans to visit as gnojek hopes he can convice people voting is a responsibility and privilege. he'll visit different denver metro polling locations today. maybe you'll see him. every four years, presidential races soar to new highs. until now... how much less money the candidates spent this year compared to years past, still ahead.

tarhonda -- people can also start changing their insurance plans today too... yes, they can. but-- for many-- it won't be as easy as "that." experts urge people to do a lot of research-- before making a decision... so you don't end up paying more. anyone who's insured through their job knows-- they can "add" or "take awti during open enrollment. but people with the most "angst" over this-- include americans under age 65... who don't get their insurance through work. instead-- they use the "affordable care act exchange." we've seen competition decrease among insurance companies-- raising prices for health care plans for many people. in colorado-- for example-- 14 counties now have only one carrier to choose from-- under the exchange. a survey also found: many americans just don't even know where to start-- when trying to select a new plan. "health policy professor" ken thorpe says-- begin with.... literally... a down the "pros and cons" of each plan you see. in some cases-- the plan that seems the cheapest per- month... could still end up costing you more-- when you add in doc
