After years of debate, the House voted to repeal key parts of the Affordable Care Act and replace them with new provisions, CNBC reported yesterday. The vote sends the Republican-sponsored bill to gut Obamacare to the Senate for consideration. But winning approval for the bill could be even more difficult in the Senate than it has been in the House, where Republican leaders struggled for nearly two months to wrangle enough votes in their caucus to secure its passage. The bill passed by a vote of 217-213. The bill — which would dramatically change the way the federal government funds purchases of individual health plans and Medicaid — is expected to dramatically increase the number of people without health insurance if enacted into law.
