Health Care Repeal Vote Puts Heat on Democrats

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said it’s up to Congress to decide what to do with the health care law, and House Republicans are following his advice, forcing the chamber to vote Wednesday on repealing the entire package just weeks after the Supreme Court said it’s constitutional.

The symbolic vote won’t go far — Senate Democrats are certain to block it if it passes the House — but Republicans hope it will build momentum by putting Democrats on the spot in states and districts across the country where the law remains unpopular.

Some Democrats have already reversed course and said they’ll vote for repeal this time around in the wake of the court’s ruling.

??? A toothless vote on a law passed by congress and after passing constitutional muster through the supreme court is putting on heat?? How about the GOP stop grandstanding for the cameras and start making the tough compromises needed to move job legislation forward. Oh I forgot, its and election year.
