Replacing Obamacare

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

The Affordable Care Act is seen as one of the signature achievements of the Obama presidency. President Trump vowed to replace it, and has now endorsed a new healthcare plan. We'll hear from people who welcome the new proposals, and from those who fear they will lose out. Also - a mixed reaction to Australia's 'female' pedestrian crossing lights, and the conversation sparked by a dying author's decision to write a dating profile for her husband.
