Repeal of health care overhaul advances in House

Washington (CNN) -- Legislation repealing President Obama's health care overhaul cleared a key procedural hurdle in the House of Representatives on Friday, advancing a top priority of the new Republican congressional majority.

The sharply partisan 236-181 vote probably will set up a final House vote to undo the measure next Wednesday.

Almost every Republican voted to advance the measure; nearly every Democrat opposed it.

While a successful repeal vote would fulfill a GOP campaign promise, the measure is considered to have virtually no chance of surviving either the Democratic-controlled Senate or a promised presidential veto.

"We will vote to repeal Obamacare again and again until we consign their government takeover to the ash heap of history where it belongs," said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Indiana. "Welcome to the 112th Congress. American people -- this is your week."

"We are setting in motion an effort to repeal President Obama's job killing bill ... and replace it with real solutions," said California GOP Rep. David Dreier, the chairman of the House Rules Committee. "We want to start with a clean slate."

Democrats blasted the new Republican majority for pushing for a final vote on the measure without allowing consideration of any amendments, which they characterized as a violation of the GOP pledge for a more open legislative process.

Democrats also seized on Thursday's release of an analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which concluded that a repeal of the health care overhaul will add $230 billion to the federal debt over the next decade.

 

I'm all for the health care bill. In fact, I'm glad you're paying for it. I'd rather you pay me directly, however.. I'll send you my PO Box address if you'd like so you'll know where to send the check.

 

Let's see. Having the healthcare law was supposed to save 130 billion. Now, not having the healthcare law will cost 230 billion. That's our government in action for ya!

I figure every time a politician farts in Washington, it must add a million dollars to the deficit.

 

Didn't the CBO amend it's "savings" figure once it got the real numbers on Obamacare rather than the figures supplied by the admin? Didn't cost projections on healthcare really explode once non-health related itemd were factored out, such as housing & student loan-related measures? Also, no one here wants to discuss it, but liberal economist Paul Krugman has gone on record proclaiming add'l taxes & death panels would be a necessity in order to sustain Obamacare.
Bottom line, repealling Obamacare is probably deficit neutral.

 

You moocher. Go out and "earn" your money, playing Wall Street's casino, become Incorporated and gain all the rights of a single person but none of the liability, merge, outsource, downsize. My God man..be of some use to your party.

 

Not anymore. I like working the system under Obama just like everyone else. I've had a change of heart; I want everything handed to me now. I'll send you my PO Box address also, if you'd like. With Obama in the White House, now I don't have to worry about my rent or my car payment! I want some of Obama's stash!

 

Aww man...what a copout. Go out and work 5 jobs. Earn yourself several hundred dollars a month. Be an asset to the continued future corporate success of the mega wealthy. Besides..to get help you'd have to declare your offshore assets. Wall street will crash again real soon. Pick up hefty put options and enjoy!

 

I've had an epiphany! I finally see that the Democrats are right! I want to be like this lady:

 

Or this one:

 

You'd risk expulsion from your local country club if you did that.

 

Too bad she didn't vote for Bush...Fox news would have made her rich.

 

Well, she DID vote for Obama. He made her rich.

 

Damn her for not endorsing the biggest war criminal since Hitler!

 

OMG, don't compare him to Hitler.....! You'll have this entire forum breathing down your neck!!

 

Sorry, I couldn't think of another more prominent republican madman at the time.

 

I wonder if she has awaken to the reality that BO isn't putting gas in her car and isn't making her mortgage pymt? Heck, I wonder if she even has a job at this point?

 

I certainly hope so, for her sake. Perhaps she's one of the .5 percent who've gained employment in the last 24 months.

 

I'm sure some corporate entity somewhere downsized somewhere, fired someone who was making too much, and consequently hired her for half the price.

 

It's been a while since Bush ran for any public office.

 

Yeah, and now she gets 2 years of unemployment & the false hope that BO will pay for her gas & her house.
