Senate Republicans unveiled their plan to overhaul the Affordable Care Act.

Following the election of President Trump, Jimmi Kuehn-Boldt of Palm Springs, Calif., began advocating for single-payer health care with the grassroots group Courageous Resistance. At 63, he doesn’t expect anything to take effect before he’s eligible for Medicare in a little more than a year, but he said he’s worried about seeing care for others deteriorate if Republicans are successful.
