Republicans sing as US House of Representatives approves healthcare Bill

The US House of Representatives has approved a Bill erasing much of former president Barack Obama's healthcare law, sending the measure to the Senate.

Relieved Republicans have muscled their healthcare bill through the US House of Representatives, taking their biggest step towards dismantling the Obama healthcare overhaul since Donald Trump took office.

They won passage only after overcoming their own divisions that nearly sank the measure six weeks ago.
