    President-elect Donald Trump wants to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, which has sent many Americans scrambling for answers on what can really happen.

    On this Veterans Day, we look at L.A.’s efforts to house every homeless vet, which has been a tougher promise to keep than expected.

    Director Anna Biller takes us behind The Love Witch, a sendup of 70s sexploitation films with a feminist flair.

    Our film critics discuss The Love Witch; Ang Lee’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk; the alien flick Arrival; and the black comedy Elle.
