The U.S. House of Representatives has unveiled a healthcare plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. Republican lawmakers committed to 'repeal and replacement' of the ACA or Obamacare. The new program is drawing criticism from both sides of the aisle.

Republican Congressman Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania's 15th District (Lehigh, parts of Berks, Dauphin, Lebanon and Northampton Counties) has also been critical of the ACA, but voted against dismantling it back in January. In speaking with The Morning Call, he said "Before I load a gun, I like to know where it's pointed. I'm not yet clear on that point."

Representative Dent appears on Monday's Smart Talk to discuss the efforts to replace the ACA and talk about issues including the government's travel ban and immigration policy.
