WASHINGTON – The Republican-controlled House has voted to repeal the health care law President Barack Obama signed last year.[H.R. 2: Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act]
The 245-189 vote marks the fulfillment of a promise many Republicans made in last fall's political campaigns.
The measure has little or no chance of passing the Senate, where Democratic supporters of the law have a majority. And Obama has vowed to veto it if it reaches his desk.
Republicans said repeal was necessary because the law provides for a government takeover of the health care system, raises taxes and would destroy jobs.
Democrats denied that, and said repeal would strip Americans of new protections against insurance industry abuses that deny them coverage they have paid for.
the main job-killers i see are the guys killing the job of congressional representative by voting for this asinine time-wasting bill. so to job-killer boehner, job-killer cantor, and their job-killing followers, i repeat:
tear down this bill!
