Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Sunday said Congress better have the votes to repeal and replace Obamacare, as Republicans promised the American people.

“We’d better have the votes for that, because that’s what we told the people, and I’m confident President Trump wants to do that,” Jordan said on ABC’s “This Week” when asked whether Congress has the votes to send the same healthcare bill to Trump that the Republican Congress previously sent to former President Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaThe Hill's 12:30 Report - Presented by Facebook - Don't expect a government check anytime soon Trump appointees stymie recommendations to boost minority voting: report Obama's first presidential memoir, 'A Promised Land,' set for November release MORE.

Jordan emphasized that Republicans did not tell the American people that the plan would repeal the healthcare law with certain exceptions, like keeping the Medicaid expansion.

“We told them we were going to repeal it and replace it with a market-centered, patient-centered plan that actually brings back affordable health insurance,” he said.

Republicans last month began the process of repealing ObamaCare through a budget reconciliation and are currently working on a replacement plan.

Trump, who campaigned on repealing the healthcare law, has said he wants a replacement to come “very quickly.”
