But the vote in the House, in its first legislative act of this presidential election year, will mark the first time such a bill makes it all the way to the White House. “They are right. America can not afford another four more years of Obamacare”. “What is real is that their first week back in session in 2016, they will vote to take health care away from 22 million Americans”.

The president’s veto will most certainly be sustained, since Republicans have nowhere near the two-third majorities in both houses necessary to override it. However, the GOP sees passing the bill as fulfilling an important promise to its base, which has demanded repeal since PPACA was first enacted in 2010.
“The fact that there’s path forward for repeal in 2017 will help the nominee later this year”, Holler said. If you are affected, I urge you to reach out to your U.S. Representative’s office, state and local authorities, or the federal and state emergency management agencies for resources to deal with the aftermath.

One of its proposals was to to “repeal and replace” Obamacare. It will be your choice. And it’s nicely ironic, because that’s the way Obamacare was sneaked by in the first place.
“Obamacare is a failure and taxpayer funding of abortion providers is wrong”. But every time he does so he risks showing the general electorate that Republicans want to do some extreme and unpopular things, like defunding Planned Parenthood (which today’s bill also does). These actions-along with the hundreds of thousands of abortions they perform each year-show a blatant disregard for human life. Worse, he has chosen to add another attack against Planned Parenthood and the funding they receive to serve economically vulnerable women.
Jordan also cited the Kemp model to CNN and agreed with Ryan the role of the House was to demonstrate that Republicans were doing what voters sent them to Washington to do – cut spending, reduce big government and reform entitlement programs. But when they took control, many people (and I was initially one of them) were hoping that Congress would be placing bill after bill on Obama’s desk-bills he would veto, but which would highlight what he was blocking and show what the Republicans stood for in contrast.
