12 January 2017 - House Speaker Paul D. Ryan said Thursday that lawmakers plan to advance legislation both to repeal and to replace Obamacare at the same time, a day after President-elect Donald Trump said repealing and replacing the law would be done “essentially simultaneously.”

“What … the president-elect said yesterday is what we’ve been saying all along is we’re advancing these things at the same time,” Mr. Ryan, Wisconsin Republican, told radio host Mike Gallagher.

“We’re advancing the legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare at the same time, and it will take time to put all of that into place, all those moving parts in place,” he said.

Mr. Ryan said there will be a transition period so people don’t wake up one morning and lose their health insurance.
