House GOP to vote on Obamacare repeal - Vol. 37....Assholes, one and all.
House Republicans on Thursday will vote -- for the 37th time -- to repeal the Affordable Care Act. With that vote, the GOP is attempting to keep its base happy while once again raising the ire of their colleagues across the aisle. Democrats, this time around, are attempting to use the continued campaign against Obamacare against Republicans.
The House last voted to fully repeal the 2010 law in July 2012, after the Supreme Court upheld its most controversial aspect, the mandate requiring all Americans to purchase insurance. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday that they're voting to repeal it again "because it's going to raise the price of health care, raise the cost of health insurance, reduce access to the American people and continues to get in the way of employers hiring new workers."
He added, "In addition to that, I think the American people deserve the truth and fairness from their government."
House leadership earlier said they wanted to give the newest members of its caucus, elected in November, a chance to vote on the repeal.
