House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said the House plans to vote on legislation right away in January that will likely spark a veto battle with the White House, according to The Hill.
The bill — which comes in the form of reconciliation — would eliminate the most significant parts of the Affordable Care Act. If the House passes the bill, President Barack Obama has 10 days to veto it, and according to the report, an attempt to override the veto would likely fail.
Reconciliation is a budget process that can only be used when a party controls both the House and the Senate, and can be passed in the Senate with just 51 votes, according to the report. The measure has already been passed in the Senate.
"When we return in January, the House will put an ObamaCare repeal bill on the floor and pass it and put it on the president's desk," House Speaker Ryan said Thursday, according to The Hill. "We are going to keep working to give families relief from this law while we work to dismantle and replace it altogether."
