Lawmakers approved the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act in a 240-189 vote that saw all but one Democrat vote against the measure, along with seven Republicans.
The bill would eliminate the individual and employer health insurance mandates, the 2.3 percent medical device tax, and the tax on "Cadillac" health care plans. It would kill off a public health fund under Obamacare that the GOP has said is a "slush fund" for the Obama administration.
And, importantly for many Republicans, it would also impose a one-year moratorium on federal funding for Planned Parenthood. That group is being investigated after a series of videos suggesting that the group may be profiting from the sale of fetal remains.

Unfortunately this person is correct. It is a waste of time. I am not a liberal, but the President will just veto it....doesn't take that much common sense to figure that out, or do you just enjoy calling people "liberals"?
You guys paying attention? House passed it, veto proof!!! Its on the senate now to finish it already!!and pass it!with same vigor as the house
Not VETO proof. Truly is just another waste of time. Time for Congress to actually do something constructive.
