In an effort to gain support for the health care legislation passed last year, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs hosted a college student conference call to discuss the importance of the Affordable Care Act for young Americans.
The Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, will be up for repeal in a House vote Wednesday, he said.
Under the current act, young Americans have been allowed to stay on their parents' insurance until age 26. If the act is repealed, though, this new measure would go away, Gibbs said.
