The Center for American Progress is reporting that Vice President Mike Pence says House Republicans have the votes to repeal Obamacare

The Center for American Progress is reporting that Vice President Mike Pence says House Republicans have the votes to repeal Obamacare https://americablog.com/2017/04/urgent-pence-says-gop-obamacare-repeal-votes-contact-congress-now.html

“I think they could have voted on Friday,” President Donald Trump said in a Sunday interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation” to discuss his first 100 days in office. “I said, ‘Just relax. Don’t worry about this phony 100 day thing. Just relax. Take it easy. Take your time. Get the good vote and make it perfect.'”

“I think health care reform, repealing and replacing Obamacare is just around the corner,” Vice President Mike Pence added on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I think we’re close.”

While Trump and the White House have been overly optimistic before about repealing Obamacare, senior House Republicans agree with them this time.

“We’re very close,” Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

At a Republican Party event in Texas on Saturday, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California hinted strongly that a vote is imminent.

“Stay tuned — watch next week — and you will see the repeal and replace of Obamacare,” McCarthy told the crowd, according to social media reports.

House GOP leaders say publicly that they have until around the end of May to pass a health care reform bill. The reason has to do with arcane but critical parliamentary rules and the sequencing of big-ticket GOP agenda items.

The short version is this: Republicans need a new budget in order to pass a tax cut or tax reform package. But once they pass a new spending blueprint, they lose their authority provided by the current budget to approve health care reform using the majority-vote tool called reconciliation. That means it would take 60 votes in the Senate, rather than 51, to pass a bill — an impossible hurdle given Democratic opposition.

In other words, it looks like now or never.

“This is it,” said an administration official closely following the repeal effort. “We get it done now, or we don’t get it done ever.”

Ryan, McCarthy, Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Lousiana and Chief Deputy Majority Whip Patrick McHenry of North Carolina spent the weekend working the phones trying to whip wavering moderates, sources said. They’ve put members in touch with Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who has briefed the lawmakers on administrative actions he intends to take to stabilize health care markets and explained how the legislation would work.

Ryan’s health care adviser, Matt Hoffmann, has also been educating Republican members.
