House votes - again - to repeal Obamacare

Source: CNN

The Republican-led House of Representatives passed legislation to roll back Obamacare on Tuesday, a measure that the Obama administration already vowed to veto.

The vote was 239-186, with no House Democrat supporting the measure and three House GOP freshmen opposing it.

This latest vote marked the 67th time the House has voted to entirely repeal, defund or change some provisions of President Barack Obama's signature health care law. Republican aides emphasize that 10 changes to the law have been signed into law by the President.

Top GOP leaders said this latest vote gives new members elected in 2014 the opportunity to go on the record against the law, and it's the beginning of their effort to show they have a better plan.

Would gladly see people die so the koch brothers could save a few bucks. There will be a special place in hell for them where they can watch their master work.

"and it's the beginning of their effort to show they have a better plan."

6 years and nothing even remotely resembling a plan...so when are they pretending they are going to present a plan os is this just more Republicans lying like they always do?

working on it but they have a plan that they will sponsor but first they have to overturn the horrible obamacare plan so they can present their plan that they are planning still but they have a plan all ready to go.

And yes I just channeled pure republican BS and now I feel dirty.

If it actually passed and was actually not vetoed by a president.

Everyone wakes up the next morning and doesn't have health insurance anymore.


Dead to rights.

I guess what I'm saying is keep on trying.

Either way we win and you lose.
