House Republicans Set to Overturn 'Obamacare' in Symbolic Move

WASHINGTON -- The newly muscular House Republicans are poised to vote Wednesday to overturn President Obama's health care overhaul -- a move that is largely symbolic because the Democratic-controlled Senate is poised to ignore it while Obama is certain to veto it should it somehow pass through Congress.

But that obstacle hasn't deterred Republicans who are determined to chisel away at the law through attempts to deny funding for parts of the legislation as they go into effect in the coming years.

"The Congress can do better in terms of replacing Obamacare with common-sense reforms that will bring down the cost of health insurance and expand access for more Americans," House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday.

The hell with “symbollic”!

[ColdOne]

Yeah that is why I posted this one. “symbollic” MSM wording. Not good.

“Republicans who are determined to chisel away at the law through attempts to deny funding for parts of the legislation as they go into effect ...”

Only “parts”? Why not the whole thing? They are the branch that allows funds a any kind.

Parts is Parts. Defund the WHOLE bill.

And fine with me if the Dems block it. Let them own this monstrosity.

[Marty62]

HUMMM..it can’t be symbolic if this action is followed by DEFUNDING.

Hairy thinks he is top dog. Well he is going to have a H of a time getting repubs to agree to his massive spending agenda.

btt

[jimbo123]

They can immediately defund the hiring of the IRS ObamaCare enforcement agents.

[TruthConquers]

Yes, that would be good, BUT will they?

When it says “parts” it means “parts”.

I say defund it ALL.

Are we going to have to read the bill to know which “parts”?

Bletch!

[Happy Rain]

Right—we just want every congresscritter to go on record as either voting for the repeal of Obamacare or against.
If Harry doesn't bring it up in the Senate that is a “no” vote by every Democrat.
Symbolic? We are going to get boo coo campaign ads out of this—real realpolitik.

Oh this is fun!

The GOP gets to tie up ObaMAOcare while it works its way through the, now, 26 states and on its way to SCOTUS.

I’m shooting (bad PC Opus) for 32 states and lots of DC rodeo.

[jimbo123]

The IRS ObamaCare enforcement agents will be de-funded shortly after this bill passes. It’s an easy one.

See, at 5:19, Lungren vs. Weiner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_f5eu3sr7c

Lungren makes the VERY IMPORTANT point that House Republicans were left out of discussion, debate and decisions re crafting the legislation. That is a point that needs to be repeated often during this Congress.
