Comment on House votes to begin dismantling ObamaCare

House votes to begin dismantling ObamaCare

On Friday afternoon, the House approved a budget measure that paves the way for repealing ObamaCare. The measure was passed 227-198, just a day after the Senate voted 51-48 in favor of the same resolution. Nine House Republicans voted against the measure; on the Senate side, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was the sole Republican to vote no. Republicans can now repeal ObamaCare using a procedural tool known as "budget reconciliation," which would shield the vote from Senate filibusters and allow repeal to pass with a simple 51-vote majority.
