The Senate voted 52-47 to gut Obamacare, strengthening a House-passed bill that many conservatives – including Ted Cruz and Mike Lee – didn't think went far enough.This was done via reconciliation, so it was not subjected to a cloture vote.
The House vote on the amended version will come in the next few days and is almost certain to pass. This means that for the first time, President Obama will be forced to veto an Obamacare repeal bill – a prospect that many political experts think will benefit Republicans.
And it's about damn time.
