[Anxious lawmakers to GOP leaders: What’s the plan to replace Obamacare?] But House leaders worked in recent days to address those concerns, even as President-elect Donald Trump made public statements setting out an ambitious timeline for action that many on Capitol Hill see as unrealistic. House GOP lawmakers were set to vote Friday to start the process of rolling back the Affordable Care Act.

Republicans hold a 24-vote advantage over Democrats in the House; if more than a handful of Republicans had balked, GOP leaders would have faced an embarrassing delay.
