With a House rubber stamp expected in days, the bill would be the first to reach Obama’s desk demolishing his 2010 health care overhaul, one of his proudest domestic achievements, and halting federal payments to Planned Parenthood. Congress has voted dozens of times to repeal or weaken the health law and repeatedly against Planned Parenthood’s funding, but until now Democrats thwarted Republicans from shipping the legislation to the White House.
Thursday’s vote was a near party-line 52-47.
Republicans said an Obama veto — which the White House has promised — will underscore that a GOP triumph in next year’s presidential and congressional elections would mean repeal of a statute they blame for surging medical costs and insurers abandoning some markets. They lack the two-thirds House and Senate majorities needed to override vetoes, assuring that the bill’s chief purpose will be for campaign talking points.

GOP... posturing and not producing meaningful legislature for the past 12+ years. Just as bad as the liberal scum that occupies government with them.
Term limits.
The house controls the purse strings and can shut it down.
So why hasn't that happened 2:08? You are just talking BS.
It will be happening soon. Those politicians in D.C. are getting a message now. We the People need to keep their feet to the fire and do not let up. King Obama will certainly veto it, which will be further proof of his narcissistic policies. And that my friends will be beginning of Democrat Collapse of House of Cards, Lies and Crooks. The new President will certainly scrap this and burry it for good. AMEN!
I really can't stand looking at McConnell face. I hope the people in Kentucky vote his useless butt out.
