House passes first hurdle in repealing Obamacare

The House of Representatives took a step forward in their efforts to repeal Obamacare on Friday, approving a budget resolution on a mostly party line vote. The house voted 227-198. "By taking this first step toward repealing Obamacare, we are closer to giving Americans relief from the problems this law has caused," Ryan said in a statement after the vote. "This resolution gives us the tools we need for a step-by-step approach to fix these problems and put Americans back in control of their health care." The Senate approved the bill during a marathon voting session early Thursday with only Republican support. Top Republican leaders are also saying they plan to move to replace Obamacare along the same track, but they are still struggling to come up with the details on how it will work.
