Trump gets things done. Our congresskritters are feeling the heat!

 

WASHINGTON — After debating seven hours through the night, the Senate voted early Thursday to take the first real step toward repealing Obamacare — a top goal of congressional Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump.

Senators voted 51-48 to approve a budget resolution that Republicans will use as a vehicle to speed through repeal of the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. House leaders plan to take it up Friday.

Senators began voting on 19 amendments to the resolution about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday before passing the budget measure about 1:30 a.m. Thursday….

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., told reporters Tuesday that “it is our goal to bring it all together concurrently.”

“We’re going to use every tool at our disposal through legislation, through regulation, to bring replace concurrent along with repeal, so that we can save people from this mess,” Ryan said. He did not offer details of what a replacement plan would include.

And here I was told on this very Blog that he wouldn’t work to repeal this.
