Republicans have said the repeal process could take months and that developing replacement health insurance plans could take years.
Yes it could, but that's really just a bit of politicking by Reuters.
It should only take a matter of hours and if Reuters had been honest and straightforward in their story they would have said as much. Then they should have added, "But since Democrats have vowed to fight this tooth and nail a process that should only take hours will drag on indefinitely at a cost to American taxpayers of millions of dollars."
