House repeals major parts of Obamacare; measure goes to Senate

Washington

THE US House of Representatives on Thursday narrowly approved legislation to repeal and replace major parts of the Affordable Care Act, as Republicans recovered from their earlier failures and moved a step closer to delivering on their promise to reshape US healthcare without mandated insurance coverage.

The vote, 217-213, held on President Donald Trump's 105th day in office, is a significant step on what could be a long legislative road.
