House Votes to Repeal and Eventually Replace Obamacare

The U.S. House of Representatives added another notch to its lengthy record of Obamacare repeal votes on Tuesday by approving a new measure that would scrap the healthcare law and direct oversight committees to come up with a replacement. The vote passed 239-186 with nine members abstaining from the vote. The action now moves to the Senate, where Republican Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas conservative, introduced legislation for full repeal on Monday.
