CNN: The Senate voted Monday to approve Seema Verma, President Donald Trump's nominee for administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The vote was 55-43.
Verma's confirmation comes as congressional Republicans advance their efforts this week to repeal and replace Obamacare, an overhaul that would entail great involvement from CMS. The health care bill making its way through the House currently plans to eliminate Medicaid expansion after 2020.
