Just a reminder, since debate starts today. Here's the language of the repeal bill and the language of the replace bill, in that order.

The House of Representatives will debate today, and vote tomorrow, on repealing the health law. Here are the texts of that repeal bill and a Republican resolution "instructing certain committees to report legislation replacing" the law:
