As a quick primer, the New York Times has sketched out the aspects of the Affordable Care Act that will be repealed, changed or left alone. It's a handy guide, and it shows that the core of the Republican bill is an emphasis on health savings accounts — high-deductible (and tax-deductible) plans that implicitly benefit wealthier consumers.

"The bill that it is right now, I'm concerned that it's going to wind up costing the actual patients — they're not going to get the sort of coverage they need," Cosgrove said.
