In a huge win for President Trump, the House of Representatives voted 217-213 to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
Led by House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy helped turn the tide on the vote and provided plenty of inspiration to Republican members with quotes from Gen. George S. Patton, according to CNN.
All 193 Democrats voted against the bill, while 20 Republican representatives voted against it. According to media reports, Rep. David Valadao was one of those members on the fence, but he voted yes.
Here’s some of the social media reaction to the passage:

Trumpcare isn’t a health care bill. A bill that destroys health care for millions to shovel cash to the rich isn’t a health care bill. #AHCA
