Federal Democrats call the razor-thin House passage of the revised American Health Care Act a matter of Republican partisanship, and some, including New Jersey U.S.Senator Robert Menendez, expect to amend it heavily. Two of the four votes for passage were cast by Shore Republican Tom MacArthur, who contributed extensively to revisions, and Republican Rodney Frelinghuysen, who previously opposed it. The rest of New Jersey's delegation voted against the bill to start replacement of Obamacare.
