Indian lawmakers support Republican repeal of Affordable Care Act

The only two enrolled tribal citizens serving in Congress are celebrating with fellow Republicans after a bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act cleared the House in a close vote.

Rep. Tom Cole (R-Oklahoma), a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, and Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma), a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, were among the 217 Republicans who supported H.R.1628, the American Health Care Act. The bill passed by just four votes on Thursday afternoon. No Democrats supported it.
