Video Transcript: With the incoming Trump administration wanting to repeal Obamacare, Nancy Pelosi tried defending how it was passed. PELOSI: The Affordable Care Act was passed not under reconciliation when it first came to the Congress. So the main part of the bill – House and Senate – was not under reconciliation. But the bulk of the bill – if you look back to the history of it – the bulk of the bill was done on the 60-vote rule, not under reconciliation. CNS NEWS REPORTER: But it passed without a single Republican vote. PELOSI: Well, 60 Democrats then. That’s not bipartisan! That’s partisan majority! PELOSI: And then the two bills passed and then the Senate bill was a little bit different from the House bill, so some of those changes were not, shall we say, structural; it was just some changes in the legislation that did go under reconciliation. But by and large the whole process was done with the 60 votes. Not one Republican in the House voted for the bill either!
