Talks about Repeal only and he doesn’t state which year.
Pence said he is “very encouraged” by discussions taking place within his caucus.
If the discussions within your caucus are encouraging, you are in an echo chamber.
“I’m very confident that in the days ahead we’re going to see the Congress come together and we’re going to take that important first step to repeal and replace Obamacare,” he said.
“So getting the votes is imminent?” Bash asked.
“I think — we’ll see,” Pence replied.
To be continued/concluded in 2019
Its likely 2019.
The house leadership could attempt to take a swing at this during late '17 or next year. Those attempts would however be very fatal to their reelection chances.

Throwing the blame on congress and off Trump.
Isn’t he one of the the “creepiest” characters of the entire administration? He looks and sounds like an android whose battery is depleted, he calls his wife “mother,” and he’s evil but not too bright.
“I think — we’ll see,” Pence replied.
DT on North Korea: “We’ll see what happens.”
DT on AHCA: “We’ll see what happens.”
DT on Russian sanctions: “We’ll see what happens.”
DT on moving the American embassy to Jerusalem: “We’ll see what happens.”
DT on China meeting: “We’ll see what happens.”
I see a pattern emerging with this administration.
I still kind of expect them to pass something they can call “Obamacare Repeal,” probably a few months before the 2018 elections and structured so that most of the negative effects are not felt until well after the 2018 elections. That way they can tell their base they kept their promise to repeal Obamacare, but (at least in theory) not have to face the full wrath of an enraged public, since the law will not have gone into effect yet and they may still be able to fool at least some low-information voters into thinking that their “replacement” is going to be better than (or at least not worse than) Obamacare.
