US House TV shows the final results of the vote to repeal the Obamacare health plan Thursday. Relieved Republicans muscled their health care bill through the House, taking their biggest step toward dismantling the Obama health care overhaul since Trump took office. The bitter health care battle dominated the Capitol even as Congress prepared to give final approval to a bipartisan $1 trillion measure financing federal agencies through September. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimated in March that the GOP bill would end coverage for 24 million people over a decade. The measure would delete language in the health care measure entitling members of Congress and their staffs to Obama's coverage requirements, even if their home states annul them.
