House repeals healthcare law
By Russell Berman - 01/19/11 05:54 PM ET
The House voted on Wednesday to repeal the sweeping healthcare law enacted last year, as Republicans made good on a central campaign pledge and laid down the first major policy marker of their new majority.
The party-line vote was 245-189, as three Democrats joined all 242 Republicans in supporting repeal.

I heard today that the dems aren't even going to allow the issue to get to the Senate floor for a vote, so it won't even make it to the President's desk.

Excellent move for politically targeting any Senator that doesn't support the repeal.

I am willing to bet that the ones bashing republicans either receive government benefits, are employed by the government or are in a union.

The sad thing is that the people who could actually use the help are living in homeless shelters and not able to get assistance.
