US healthcare prices set to skyrocket after 'Obamacare' scrapped

US healthcare prices set to skyrocket after 'Obamacare' scrapped

Many people in the US will soon have to pay a lot more for health insurance after President Donald Trump's administration decided to do away with former President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act - also known as "Obamacare".

Subsidies that were part of that programme have now been scrapped.

Al Jazeera's John Hendren reports from Chicago.
