By a vote of 217-213, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to repeal and replace Obamacare by the slimmest of margins on Thursday. In large part, the GOP-backed American Health Care Act would replace government-subsidized insurance policies with tax credits and give more control over Medicaid funds to the states.
But as The New York Times notes, “The House measure faces profound uncertainty in the Senate, where the legislation’s steep spending cuts will almost certainly be moderated.” As the bill passed, House Democrats--none of whom voted for the measure (20 Republicans voted against it)--sang the chorus of "Goodbye" and denounced the bill as "political suicide" for the GOP, whose members reportedly boarded a "party bus" to the White House after the vote was taken.
