    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.
