Vice President Mike Pence said he hopes Congress can pass legislation to replace Obamacare by the end of the year, a far longer timetable than President Donald Trump has envisioned.
Pence, in an interview Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” declined to say definitively when Trump would be able to sign a new health care bill, but said he hopes it would be “before the end of the year.”
