The Republican effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is well underway, but as Political Junkie Ken Rudin told host Kerri Miller it's about more than keeping with campaign promises.

There are several Republican lawmakers who think that the American Health Care Act doesn't stray far enough from the ACA and if Speaker of the House Paul Ryan can't get them to sign on to this bill, where else might he lose support?

Rudin and Miller discussed that and more on this week's Political Junkie.
