HARI SREENIVASAN:

But first: As we heard, Senate Republicans are pushing hard to pass their own bill next week to replace and overhaul the Affordable Care Act.

One of the key issues, major cuts to Medicaid, the joint federal-state program that provides health care to low-income Americans, the elderly and disabled. It was expanded under Obamacare. But now 14 million Medicaid recipients stand to lose that coverage under a bill passed by the House.

Reports out tonight say there will be even deeper cuts under the Senate version.

Special correspondent Cat Wise reports from Los Angeles on how these cuts could directly affect patients.
