healthcare act, addressing concerns of conservatives who wouldn't support the original bill back in march saying it did nothing to eliminate obamacare-like mandates and taxes while some moderates wanted more protections for those with preexisting conditions. gop leadership had been work behind the scenes to calm the fears of house members and have succeeded today. >> this bill delivers on the promises that we have made it to american people. you know, a lot of us have been waiting seven years to cast this vote. >> democrats lined up on the house floor today to slam the reworked legs larks claiming deep cuts to medicare would hurt millions and saying up to 24 million more could lose their insurance. >> speaker ryan once called this bill an act of mercy. an act of mercy. there is no mercy here. >> reporter: the bill now heads to the senate where republicans only have a slim advantage. senate minority leader chuck schumer saying he is going to fight this thing all the way saying that the bill is going nowhere fast. frank, heather. >> lauren . >> lauren clashed in the nation's capitol, thank you. joining us our political analyst brian sobel. so interesting when you listen to reaction. republicans are saying this is a fantastic bill, it is going to help people. republicans, you heard nancy pelosi saying that solve for the american people. >> this is sort of the climate we're in. when you have a bipartisan approach to something everybody has some pain, but the gain is enough for everybody. here it's very stark. the democrats think this is a disaster. the republicans feel like we've got a victory. >> let's talk about the victory and president trump and that celebration today in rose garden. a little too preliminary, in your opinion? was it sort of putting the cart before the horse in regards to the fact that it hasn't even cleared the senate yet? >> i guess if you are celebrating that it got over the first hurdle, okay. but it is sort of like the reaction to the democrats around the budget. we got more out of it than the other guys, and it's rah-rah for our guys. the american public is getting tired of this devicive era. the people aren't getting the victory. >> have we crossed a threshold by the vote being approved in the house that at some point down the line we are going to see the affordable care act, president obama's affordable care act, repealed and replaced? >> i think so eventually, but it is going to take awhile. this next move, or next stop with the senate, is a huge deal. and there is going to be hearings and lots of debate. so we've got a ways to go before we see what this looks like at the end. but i think everybody admits that the current plan or the current law is not sufficient. it's got a lot of holes in it. now the question is whether the new law that's being talked about after it gets through the senate will be the real ticket. we will see. >> you talked about the changes that the senate is expected to make. this thing could ultimately look completely different than right now. >> could be totally he' eviscerated. >> do you think there will be some democrats crossing the aisle? in the house not one democrat voted in favor of it. >> i think if this bill is going to reflect what is needed to fix it, it is going to have to have some dems voting for it. the razor slim margin between republicans and democrats in the senate require that. not all republicans are going to vote for this, so they are going to need democrats. in that fact is the strength of the democrats being able to profoundly affect this piece of legislation. >> all right, obviously politics involved here, but we are talking about people and their healthcare, something that everyone is going to be following. >> that's the things heather. i think people at the end of the day need to remember this is about people, not about who gets a win. >> is it affect a lot. a reminder, stay with us for continuing coverage on the healthcare debate including reaction here. that's coming up on ktvu news at 6:30. police are providing new details about the shooting deaths of three people. investigators say an officer shot and killed a man
