From Reuters:
The House of Representatives will resume debate next week on legislation to repeal President Barack Obama’s landmark healthcare overhaul, a House Republican spokesman said on Thursday.
The House had been expected to act this week on the repeal bill, but the vote was postponed after a shooting spree in Arizona killed six people and critically wounded Representative Gabrielle Giffords.
Debate on the healthcare bill will resume next week, said Brad Dayspring, spokesman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
A vote on repeal is set for Wednesday.
“As the White House noted, it is important for Congress to get back to work, and to that end we will resume thoughtful consideration of the health care bill next week,” Dayspring said.
“Americans have legitimate concerns about the cost of the new healthcare law and its effect on the ability to grow jobs in our country,” he added.
The repeal vote would fulfill a campaign promise of Republicans who won control of the House in the November elections. But the measure will likely die in the Senate where Democrats remain in control.
Even if it were to pass the Congress, Obama would veto repeal legislation.
Read the whole thing here. A lot of Democrats in the Senate face very difficult bids for reelection next year. It will be good to again get them on record, especially since Obamacare has only become more unpopular since passage.
