House Republicans narrowly pass controversial bill to revise Affordable Care Act, fulfilling a major Trump campaign promise – The Washington Post
House Republicans narrowly passed a controversial bill to revise Affordable Care Act, fulfilling a major Trump campaign promise but sending the measure on to an uncertain fate in the closely divided Senate.Passage in the House capped weeks of fits and starts for the GOP and represented an enormous victory for President Trump, who repeatedly pledged on the campaign trail last year to repeal and replace Obamacare but has struggled to secure legislative wins early in his president. The vote was also a big win for House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), who has been working on the legislation since January but has failed to unite his ideologically divided caucus.Today, this House has the opportunity to do more than just fulfill a promise, Ryan said to the House chamber moments before the vote. We have the opportunity to raise our gaze and set a bold course for our country.
