Trump, Ryan declare victory on Obamacare repeal bill — but its future is still uncertain.

President Trump gave a victory speech at the White House on Thursday, shortly after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to repeal and replace major parts of Obamacare — handing the president his largest legislative victory.

“I went through two years of campaigning, and I’m telling you no matter where I went people are suffering so badly with the ravages of Obamacare,” he said in the Rose Garden. “This is a repeal and replace of Obamacare. Make no mistake about it.”

House Republicans just barely approved the highly controversial bill, officially named the American Health Care Act (AHCA), with a 217-213 vote. No Democrats voted for the bill.
