| House GOP leaders to press another Obamacare repeal vote | |
| 2012-07-01 | |
| GOP House leaders said Sunday they will forge ahead with efforts to repeal President Obama’s health care law, drawing criticism from Democratic lawmakers who said Americans want them to instead go forward with efforts to improve the economy. The GOP-led House has attempted to repeal the Affordable Care Act numerous times and is scheduled to take up the issue again July 11, less than two weeks after the Supreme Court ruled the law was constitutional. Boehner, R-Ohio, said House Republicans will take a “practical, step-by-step” approach, compared to the 2,700-page reform bill that has been called a complete government takeover of the insurance industry. He also said the law "has to be ripped out but its roots." The House could hold a repeal vote as early as July 11, but such a measure would almost certainly be defeated in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

| #1 While understandable, I fear that this will be seen as a 'knee-jerk' response and might tend to dilute future more realisitc opportunities. Not to mention any negative optics for Joe Six-pack ( after the Lame Stream gets done with it). |
