Vice President Mike Pence promised Tuesday that Republicans will pass an Obamacare replacement plan by the end of summer and "tax cuts" this year.
Those pledges form the foundation of a platform that President Donald Trump says will boost American economic growth and job creation. But the GOP-controlled Congress faces a packed legislative calendar this year and will have to overcome potential disagreements over what form its health-care and tax bills should take.
At the National Association of Manufacturers summit, Pence said he wanted to "assure" the audience that Trump and Congress will approve an Obamacare replacement plan "before this summer is over." The White House is working with the Senate to "move forward legislation in the very near future," he said.
Pence also promised that Republicans will pass "tax cuts" by the end of the year.
"We will get tax cuts done and we will get them done this year," he said.

Wouldn’t we need a GOP controlled Congress for that to happen?
Cue the Veruca Salts.
End of the summer?
Doesn’t seem likely, too many reasons to list.
I don’t want a Government replacement Mike! Anything short of a full repeal as was promised and a completely open market system imo would be a failure of a Republican controlled government to accomplish anything!
That’s Rat Boy Ryan leadership for you.
Reminds me of that old surfing documentary “Endless Summer.” Sure, they will get it done before the end of summer, but in what year?
The more they discuss any details, the louder the caterwauling from the libs on how they're trying to kill people.
Pence found the bully pulpit! Love it! Maybe he should show the prez.
I’d like to believe it but I don’t see the Senate moving off the stick. Mitch has no guts, no spine and no desire to see Trump win.
Not if we the people can block you, Mike.
We have to be patient, Bookman. The perfect is the enemy of the good. This isn’t the hill to die on. What do you want? Egg in your beer?
We must have every single seat in the Senate and House, and control of the White House. And then we must resurrect Justice Scalia and clone eight copies of him.
Then, and only then—once we have every seat in the Congress, the Supreme Court packed and the presidency—we conservatives will be truly screwed.
Replacing Obamacare with Trumpcare is hardly an improvement.
Tell Congress NOT to take their DAMN AUGUST VACATION!!! They get MORE VACATIONS than OBAMA had!
I never thought it wise to promise what someone else has to deliver.
Repeal..NOT replace!
My problem is ...what will it be replaced by.....I don’t trust the rino basturds!!!
Exactly! And since when did the federal government get
the right to muddle around in the people's private
health care business and decisions in the the first place?
Telling the supposedly free people of the America
how much, and what kind of health care we're supposed to have! How much more will Americans tolerate of this nonsense?
REPEAL IT ALL.
NO REPLACEMENT !!!!! IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!
