After years of debate, the House on Thursday voted to repeal key parts of the Affordable Care Act and replace them with new provisions.
The vote, which President Donald Trump was planning to tout as a big victory, sends the Republican-sponsored bill to gut Obamacare to the Senate for consideration.

But winning approval for the bill could be even more difficult in the Senate than it has been in the House, where Republican leaders struggled for nearly two months to wrangle enough votes in their caucus to secure its passage.
The bill passed by a vote of 217 to 213. All 193 Democrats voting opposed the bill; they were joined by 20 Republicans voting "no."

If the Freedom Caucus backed the bill, it is as good as it can possibly be.
Ros-Letinen voted no. She is queen RINO.
Yep, and part of the trick is how much it gets changed in conference.
OK, FReepers — it’s SHOWTIME!

Get on the horn to McConnell’s office and let them know in no uncertain terms that this bill needs to get to Trump’s desk UNMOLESTED. We’ve gotta let them know what we want. God knows the other side is certainly lighting up the lines to say what they DON’T want.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
Yeah, I recall arguing with friends the ObamaCare law would be found unconstitutional on process alone.
IRC, ObamaCare originated in the Senate, quid pro quo after quid pro quo was given for votes and there was zero reading of the bill before process and vote.
No one argued this in court, which I thought odd
Well Joyce is mine and pretty sure trump won our district ... but yeah he’s a rhino...
NY Times wants you to share your story of how this will affect you.

A retiring queen RINO.
This is the end of Trump
This is the end of the Republican party. Sad day for America. One of many recently.
I only see one member of the Freedom caucus on there - Biggs I believe. Looks like they all supported it otherwise. Anyone who criticized President Trump for criticizing them want to retake the mantle of criticizing them now?

Put the crack pipe down.
Wait, Paul Ryan actually got this bill through the House? (Like I said he would.)
But it has to pass the Senate now right? Is that going to happen?
Not in its current form. Pre-Existing will roll back to the original language along with medicare. Employer requirements will revert as well as the tax credit.
Your read it here first folks. It won’t get past the senate without, at least, some of these “entitlements” making it back in.

I think the Senate will pass it now.
