Watch: Health care vote results for AHCA (full video replay)

UPDATE: House Republicans successfully passed their bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, 217 in favor of the bill and 212 against.

At 1:15 pm on Thursday, the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on the American Health Care Act — the latest attempt by Republicans to partially repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

The bill replaces Obamacare’s income-adjusted subsidies with a flat (and overall less generous) tax credit; it overhauls and dramatically cuts Medicaid; and it allows states to get waivers from Obamacare requirements that protect people with preexisting conditions. (Read more about what’s in the bill from Vox’s Sarah Kliff.)

If enacted, it would greatly reduce funding for Obamacare’s coverage programs, leaving millions fewer people with health insurance. It would benefit people who are higher-income and healthy, and disadvantage the elderly, sick, and low-income people who rely on the health law’s programs.

If the bill passes the House Thursday, it will proceed to the Senate — which might end up writing its own bill, or making big changes to the House version, to address senators’ concerns. President Donald Trump is a strong supporter of the bill, and has negotiated with individual members of the House to get them on board.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
