Nine Republicans balk at risky ‘repeal-and-replace’ strategy
The House passed a 2017 budget Friday that lays the groundwork for dismantling Obamacare, brushing aside intra-GOP anxiety and defiant Democrats to launch the repeal-and-replace strategy staked out by President-elect Donald Trump.
Nine Republicans balked at the politically thorny plan — the budget doesn’t balance, and the party hasn’t coalesced around a health bill of its own. But their defections weren’t nearly enough to tilt the 227-198 vote, which imposes a Jan. 27 deadline for crafting legislation that guts the Affordable Care Act.
“The ‘Unaffordable’ Care Act will soon be history!” Mr. Trump posted on Twitter before the vote.
The Senate approved the plan early Thursday on a 51-48 vote that brought in support from all but one Republican in the chamber, clearing the way for an eventual repeal vote that cannot be filibustered by Democrats.

I’m so glad they are going to begin to start to prepare to initiate, going forward, a path to eventuate and set in motion an obamacare repeal.

I had to unfriend a couple of folks on Facebook over this. Getting sick of hearing how the sky is falling and it’s all my fault for voting Trump. One of them admits his premiums went up and his deductible was 5K so his family never went to the doctor under Obamacare.
