care insurance reform pass work exactly as we intended? of course. but to throw it out and say we're putting our hands back in the -- our lives, families, health care back in the hands of the insurance company executives and their profits is a wrong move. >> reporter: the house vote is slated for tomorrow to repeal health reform even if it passes the house it doesn't stand a chance in the senate. that's why work is getting underway immediately in some house committees on more specific changes to the law. reporting live from washington d.c., allison burns, ktvu channel 2 news. the president of china arrives on a three day visit to washington d.c. this afternoon. chinese flags are on display this morning along side american flags on pennsylvania avenue in front of the white house to welcome him. tonight the chinese president will have a dinner with president obama ahead of the state dinner tomorrow night.
