Only one Florida Republican congresswoman voted no, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinem (R-District 27). The rest of the 15 GOP Florida representatives voted to approve the bill.

Ros-Lehtinen, whose district includes much of South Florida, said ahead of the vote that she planned to vote no.

"I will note support a bill that has the potential to severely harm the health and lives of people in South Florida, and therefore I remain steadfast in my commitment to vote NO on the AHCA,” she said on Twitter Thursday.

All 11 Democratic Florida representatives voted no.

The bill still has to pass in the Senate, where even GOP lawmakers said major changes are likely.
