Obamacare Repeal Moves a Step Closer to Reality
The House approves a budget resolution granting Congress the authority to scrap most of the health law with simple majority votes.
Republicans in Congress can now repeal most of the Affordable Care Act with a simple majority vote.
The House on Friday passed a budget resolution allowing Congress to bypass a Democratic filibuster in the Senate if and when they vote to gut the health law. The vote was 227-198, with nine Republicans joining all the Democrats in opposition. The Senate passed the same measure earlier this week on vote of 51-48.
