House Leaders Launch Attempt To Dismantle Healthcare Law

The House of Representatives opens debate today on repealing the sweeping healthcare overhaul act that President Obama signed into law last March.

So what would happen to those benefits if repeal passed and what alternative will House Republicans offer? Noam Levey of the Los Angeles Times joins us.
