House Republicans set to vot down health care

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41149463/ns/politics-capitol_hill

Although the vote is symbolic, and stands little chance of becoming law, Republicans in the house have decided if your unemployed, poor, or uninsured, you don't deserve any health care coverage at all. To all those who need health coverage, and don't have it. the G O P has a message: "Profits for insurance companies, and HMO's are more imporntant, than weather you live or die!" 😏 P.S. Have a nice day.

Perhaps once they've gotten this symbolic vote out of their system, the GOP and Dems will come together and begin to actually propose real ways to improve upon the current healthcare law and begin a serious but honest debate free from name-calling and strawmen.

Or maybe not.

The repeal bill passed by a 245-189 margin. The earlier Republican predictions that they would have close to a veto proof majority proved to be a lot of hot air; only 3 Democrats voted for the repeal.

A complete waste of time.

EDIT: sh76 quoted Fred Upton's prediction on January 3rd (which turned out about as accurate as my NFL playoff ones):

Upton said on "Fox News Sunday" that he believes there may be enough opposition in the new House to reach the two-thirds majority required to override a presidential veto. Short of that, he said House leaders will "go after this bill piece by piece."

"As part of our pledge, we said that we would bring up a vote to repeal healthcare early," Upton said. "That will happen before the president's State of the Union address. We have 242 Republicans. There will be a significant number of Democrats, I think, that will join us. You will remember when that vote passed in the House last March, it only passed by seven votes."

Upton added: "I don't think we're going to be that far off from having the votes to actually override a veto."


Guess again, Fred.
