AFTER AN ALL-NIGHT vote-a-rama on Wednesday, the Senate took its first real legislative tugs at unraveling the Affordable Care Act—the healthcare law that currently provides insurance to more than 20 million people who didn’t have it before. Passing early Thursday with a vote of 51 to 48, and followed up by a 227-198 vote in the House on Friday, the budget resolution is the opening move in a three-part process to repeal and replace Obamacare. It is not, as some congressional Republicans would lead you to believe, now a done deal. A full-blown repeal is still far from over, with many opportunities to fizzle out or get derailed in the process.
