What did Mike Pence predict about health care in June 2017?
Mike Pence, Vice President of the United States ·
But as I told her help is on the way, and the Obamacare nightmare is about to end. … And before this summer is out, we're going to finish what Wisconsin's own Speaker Paul Ryan started. And we're going to repeal and replace Obamacare once and for all.
Senate repeal failed 49-51, July 28
Pence said Obamacare would be repealed and replaced before summer was out. The Senate's final repeal attempt failed 49 to 51 on July 28, 2017, and the law remains.
The Senate rejected the final 'skinny repeal' amendment 49-51 on July 28, 2017 (Senate roll call vote 179, McConnell Amdt. No. 667), and the summer ended with the ACA neither repealed nor replaced; it remains law.
