As a vote looms for federal Republicans' attempt to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama's healthcare law, Indiana lawmakers are announcing their positions. The vote was scheduled for Thursday night, but NPR reports it has been delayed.
As NPR reports, Republicans are scrambling to get the necessary votes to pass the measure:
With five vacancies in the 435-member House, Republicans can lose 21 votes and still pass the bill. Every Democrat is expected to vote against it. House Republicans enjoy one of their largest majorities in decades, so the 21-vote cushion is much larger than past GOP-controlled congresses have enjoyed.
For their part, Democrats are unified against the bill, which undoes President Obama's signature domestic achievement.
