House Republicans are preparing to target President Barack Obama’s health-care law as the GOP and the White House head toward a showdown over raising the $16.7 trillion U.S. debt limit sometime this fall.

National Review reported early Tuesday afternoon that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor told Republicans that the House GOP will demand a one-year delay to the president’s signature health-care law in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.

ugh....I hate these games!

4. This was reported on MSNBC and it seems...

... that is a way out.


I didn't catch all of it so please excuse the inaccuracies.

From what I gathered, it means that The House vote can be overturned by The Senate. Maybe it is just offered as an amendment that can be taken out of The Senate version. As I said, I didn't catch the entire report.



I guess Cons are unhappy with Cantor over this, so maybe it really is a good thing.
