In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on Republicans’ health care overhaul.

People will be economically forced into refusing insurance under “TrumpCare” plan.
Mr. Trump has already indicated that he intends to support the new American Health Care Act. But, it remains to be seen what changes the bill will ultimately undergo, or whether Republicans can muster enough support for passage.
