House Expected to Follow Senate’s Lead on Rush to Repeal Health Law
WASHINGTON
— The House is expected to give final approval on Friday to a measure
that would allow Republicans to speedily gut the Affordable Care Act
with no threat of a Senate
filibuster,
a move that would thrust the question of what health law would come
next front and center even before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes
office.
House approval would come after the Senate narrowly approved the same
measure, a budget blueprint, in the pre-dawn hours on Thursday.
Americans woke up Thursday to the realization that a Republican Congress
was deadly serious about eviscerating President Obama’s signature
domestic achievement — a move that could leave 20 million Americans
unsure of their health coverage and millions more wondering if
protections offered by the Affordable Care Act could soon be taken away.
