After being constructed in secret by a small group of Republican senators, a push is underway to pass a bill reforming the nation's health care system.
For perspective on what changes could be in store both nationally and in Idaho, Matt Guilhem spoke to Dr. David Pate, the President and CEO of St. Luke's Health System.
With over 14,000 employees, St. Luke's is the biggest employer in the state. Dr. Pate calls the goal of the Affordable Care Act laudable, says the nation's health care delivery system is broken and believes Republicans' pledge to "repeal and replace" so-called Obamacare is unrealistic.
