House Republicans Take Big Step Towards Repealing & Replacing ObamaCare
A House Republican health care bill is making it’s way through key committees, even though there’s still a GOP split on the measure.
FOX’s Jared Halpern has more from Capitol Hill:
A pair of early victories for House Republicans, winning approval for their health care bill in two committees:
(Walden) “Without objection, this committee stands adjourned.”
Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Greg Walden ending a 27 hour session. The House Ways and Means Committee also signed off on the health care bill very early this morning.
But Republican leaders are still working members of their own party. House Speaker Paul Ryan arguing this is the closest Republican will come to repealing and replacing ObamaCare:
(Ryan) “It really comes down to a binary choice.”
Pushing back criticism from some conservative lawmakers and groups who prefer a straight repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
