WASHINGTON (AP) - The new Republican-led House is poised to deliver an emphatic thumbs-down to President Barack Obama's landmark health care overhaul, with no ready substitute of its own.
The House vote Wednesday could turn out to be the high-water mark for repeal, a goal that energized conservative voters in the midterm elections and helped Republicans return to power in Congress.
Democrats, who hung on to the Senate, have vowed to block the GOP drive.
But House Republicans say not to underestimate their determination or their willingness to use parliamentary maneuvers to deny the Obama administration funds needed to carry out the law.
"Our vote to repeal is not merely symbolic," said freshman Rep. Nan Hayworth, R-N.Y., an ophthalmologist.
"It respects the will of the American people. And it paves the way to reform our health care."

When are they going to work on jobs?
Congress doesn't create jobs, 10:37. They are created by a vibrant private sector.
"..with no ready substitute of its own.."
Baloney.
The GOP has had a very good plan for two years that laid decomposing in Madam Mussolini's desk drawer, never to see the light of day. It does everything that needs doing, and doesn't raise the deficit.
Get rid of this piece of junk, and then they can get to the good stuff.
Adolf Obama has got to go!
sure 10:45,
Their one page plan stated "tax cuts and drilling will solve all our problems and remember Americans, that Obama is evil"
Its a lot easier to spout off "Adolph Blah blah blah" then it is to defend a complete waste of time... even if this passes the house its DOA in the Senate.
