tillis: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, last year you and i and a number of us went out to the folks in our great states and we promised that if we were elected into a majority that we would do everything that we could to repeal and replace obamacare. the process that the american people are going to witness over the next 24 hours is our fulfillment of that promise. it'll tak take 15* take 51 vote. once we do that, we can start about a process of addressing the legitimate health care problems instead of an option that's made the problem worse. it's a system that will control your cost and put patients first. it is system that puts your choice first. it is a system that puts quality ahead of partisan politics. this is an open process that will -- that we'll go through over the next day. it's the way it should be. that means it will require some tough votes. many of my friends on the right may not particularly like or enjoy the amendments that will be offered and voted on, but i for one, when confronted with a vote
