House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy vowed Sunday that his Republican-led chamber will indeed repeal and replace ObamaCare, after Donald Trump’s remarks that he would consider keeping certain parts of the health care law following his presidential election win.
“We will repeal and replace ObamaCare,” McCarthy, a California Republican, said on “Fox News Sunday.” “It has to change.”
McCarthy, the chamber's No. 2 Republican behind House Speaker Paul Ryan, spoke one day before Congress returns to Washington for a so-called lame duck session, which will include passing a budget to avoid a looming government shutdown and preparing for several of Trump’s “Day One” promises when assuming office January 20.
Those vows include scrapping ObamaCare and starting to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to keep out illegal immigrants.
Trump said last week after meeting with President Obama at the White House that he would consider amending the president's struggling health care law.
Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway told “Fox News Sunday” earlier in the show that Trump will make the consideration “out of respect” for the outgoing president.

Yea, but Kevin McCarthy will see that the house takes its dear sweet time . . . they might have something by August of 2020.
Enough with these friggin’ overtures to the Left! Scrap Obamacare completely and privatize all health-care!
Yes! Do it now. Make it so.
...but that’s not what Paul Ryan just said? /FUPR
You see, anything the MSM can and will take out of context, they will to do the same to Trump as they did with Bush, but what they do not realize is they aren't playing in a ‘Bush Arena’ they are playing by Trumps laws and rules of conduct...and he is a ‘Viper’ and will bite back hard, he is right now giving them the rope to hang themselves...and hang they will...they haven't meet how the man can be when he goes all out for something, but they are just about to learn a butt hurt lesson!!!
Chris Wallace tried again this morning with this line of attack with KellyAnne and she did NOT say anything other than what Trump has been saying for months: “Trump will remove and replace obamacare” PERIOD!!! And yes, he will build a wall, so he is keeping his word to the American People that voted for him, the ones that don't like it are the ‘snowflakes; MSM; Soros; and the Clintons’...they all need a safety pin to hold up their diapers!!!
When did McCarthy change sides?
Or is this just a ploy to become Speaker so he can derail the program?
You guys need to be QUICKER and BETTER THINKERS and DOERS!! Let the MAN show you kids how it’s done!! DO BIG THINGS!!
Bless your heart
I never liked McCarthy; he always seemed to be a weasel. But he might be useful to double cross rino Ryan if he wants speakership. McCarthy might accept a subordinate lieutenant status for the job promotion.
That’s how it was done in Rome.
They promised the first thing SIX YEARS AGO !
Trump staked his presidency on a wall. It’s going to get done or there won’t be a second term for him. He knows that.
Give the job to the Army Corp of Engineer with instructions to get it done in a year. Then post Marines to guard them as they complete their mission.
It will get done.
They are spinning what he said. He can still repeal and replace the original while including those two things in his new plan if he wants to. I hate the media!
I don’t have a problem with helping people get health insurance as long as it doesn’t bankrupt the country and I don’t think people should be forced to pay for somebody else’s healthcare. I don’t like the mandate. Nobody should be forced to purchase anything they don’t want to purchase. Obama eliminated the policies with less coverage and lower prices and forced people into the high cost plans so that he could require them to have a certain coverage. People should be able to choose how much insurance they want to buy, who they want to buy it from, and keep their doctors. Having more competition will help a lot too. High risk individuals should be able to buy insurance but they will have to pay extra.
Insurance is a privilege, not a right, but everybody should have access that is affordable. Obamacare is not affordable.
Ryan told Chris Wallace on Fox that the legislation to repeal/replace OdumboCare was already written.
Marines with live ammo in their weapons. Right!!
The GOP actually has the power to PASS A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT which would keep government out of Healthcare forever!
They need to think BIG and LONG TERM.
He needs to get with Ryan right quick, who said today that they have no intention of deporting the felon illegal aliens. Again he goes against Trump. Ryan needs to be kicked to the curb.
