LOUISVILLE, Kentucky Vice President Mike Pence, at a stop in Louisville, Ky.,vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act, evenas hundreds of people demonstrated outside in support of the federal health law.

"Obamacare has failed the people of Kentucky, Obamacare has failed the people of America and Obamacare must go!" Pence declared Fridayto an enthusiastic invitation-only audience of more than 100.

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, also a Republican opponent of the federal health law, introduced his "dear friend" Pence and said he shared his views on the law that has brought health coverage to more than half a million Kentuckians.

"Obamacare is a disaster," Bevin said. "It needs to be repealed. It needs to be replaced!"

And Bevin appeared to discount reports of discord within the Republican Party over a controversial plan to restructure the health law U.S. House Republicans introduced Monday including the criticism by Kentucky's U. S. Sen. Rand Paul.

"Of course there's disagreement," Bevin said. "This is America."

But most of the spotlight was on Pence, who in addition to pledging a repeal of Obamacare, ticked off a campaign-style checklist of the Trump administration's goals on immigration, taxes and the economy.

"Together, with your support and God's help, we will make America great again," Pence concluded.
