We're starting in Washington, D.C. Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare. The health reform law was considered former President Barack Obama's biggest domestic achievement. Yesterday's House vote to repeal is considered a major victor for President Donald Trump.
今天的首要新闻我们来关注华盛顿特区。昨天，美国众议院投票通过废除并替换平价医疗法案，即“奥巴马医改”。该医改法案被认为是前总统巴拉克•奥巴马在国内取得的最大成就。而昨天众议院废除该法案的投票被认为是唐纳德•特朗普总统取得的一次重要胜利。
Since Obamacare was signed into law in 2010, Republicans have tried to get it repealed. Yesterday, with the House vote of 217-213, they took a step closer to getting that done. Their plan is called the American Health Care Act. And while President Trump supports it, it still has to be approved by the Senate before it can reach his desk for signature. Though the president says he's confident it will, Senate Democrats are demanding and promising it will be defeated.
奥巴马医改于2010年签署成法，当时共和党人就试图废除该医改法案。昨天，众议院的217赞成对213反对票，使他们离废除该法案又近了一步。共和党的方案为“美国医疗法案”。虽然得到了特朗普总统的支持，但是该法案仍要先得到参议院的批准，才能提交给总统签字。尽管特朗普总统表示，他有信心这份法案会通过，但是参议院民主党议员要求并承诺将否决该法案。
Health care in America is a controversial and costly subject. Yesterday's vote was largely along party lines, with all Democrats and a handful of Republicans voting against it. When Obamacare was passed in 2010, all Republicans and a handful of Democrats voted against it.
美国医保一直是备受争议且昂贵的议题。昨天的投票党派分歧明显，所有民主党人和一小部分共和党人投了反对票。2010年通过奥巴马医改时，所有共和党人和一小部分民主党人投了反对票。
In the midterm elections that followed, Democrats lost control of the House. In the next midterms, they're predicting Republicans will lose control of the House. No matter what happened, debate over health care isn't going anywhere, especially with the Senate vote ahead.
在随后进行的中期选举中，民主党失去了对众议院的控制权。不过，他们预测共和党人会在下届中期选举中失去对众议院的控制权。无论发生什么，围绕医保的争论都不会有任何进展，尤其是在参议院率先展开投票的情况下。
