(Bloomberg) -- Congressional Republicans completed the first step Friday toward their long-promised repeal of Obamacare and now must find a way to unravel the massive health-care law and try to replace it.
The House voted 227-198 Friday to adopt a budget resolution that would allow Republicans to push a repeal bill through the Senate without having to face a Democratic filibuster.
"The Unaffordable Care Act will soon be history!" tweeted President-elect Donald Trump earlier in the day. Trump campaigned on canceling President Barack Obama’s signature legislative achievement, and he is pressuring lawmakers for quick passage of a replacement plan.
