House Narrowly Passes GOP Health Care Bill
By the slimmest of margins, the House of Representatives passed the Republican plan to replace Obamacare Thursday afternoon, sending the measure to a skeptical Senate where it is almost certain to change shape. Republicans passed the bill by a vote of 217 to 213, just one vote over the 216 needed.
The vote was a big win for House Speaker Paul Ryan, who was able to deliver on Republicans’ seven-year long campaign promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act even though the bill doesn’t constitute a complete repeal. And for President Donald Trump, this gives him his first legislative victory since taking office more than 100 days ago.
