House To Repeal Obamacare

And then the Senate won't even get to vote on it.

These useless protest votes, should the GOP stop doing them? Or do you think they increase donations and inspire more volunteering for political campaigns?

GOP To Make 31st Attempt To Repeal Obamacare Act

The House Rules Committee takes up a bill Monday called the "Repeal of Obamacare Act." And just like it says, the bill would wipe away the president's Affordable Care Act. A vote of the full House is planned for Wednesday.

It's the first legislative response from House Republicans after the Supreme Court upheld the law. But it is far from the first time the GOP has voted for repeal.

Over the past 18 months, the House has taken 30 floor votes to try to repeal, defund or dismantle the health care law. The first attempt came on Jan. 19, 2011 just two weeks after the GOP took control of the House.

Gridlock is a positive force. It keeps both sides from doing something stupid.

That's the dumbest statement I've read all week.

I would love to see the Senate vote on this just so we have a record of the way they feel about ACA.

Where as on the Senate side, the Dems are trying to pass a bill that would give small businesses significant tax breaks if they hire new employees. It would add nearly one million new jobs to the economy. Unfortunately, the Republicans are obstructing it, probably because it would improve the economy without giving even more tax breaks to those one per center "job creators" who refuse to create jobs.

I think they're just trying to look like they're doing something when in fact they're doing what they do best - nothing.

I doubt they would go through all the trouble for nothing. It gives them a chance to see were everyone stands on the vote and how many Dems have come to see reason.

Can we repeal Obuma next?
