The Minnesota Representative introduced a bill to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act, the first bill of the 113th Congress--but it stands almost no chance of passing.
Second verse, same as the first, apparently.
Rep. Michele Bachmann, the Tea Party darling and former presidential candidate introduced the first House bill of the 113th Congress Thursday.
Of course, the bill she introduced was to--you guessed it--repeal Obamacare in its entirety.
At noon today, I introduced the first bill of the 113th Congress to repeal Obamacare in its entirety.— Michele Bachmann (@MicheleBachmann) January 3, 2013
Even if Bachmann's bill stood a chance of becoming law (it almost certainly would not pass the Democrat-led Senate and be vetoed by President Obama), it's not even the first time House Republicans have tried to repeal the act.
Bachmann's bill, H.R. 45, "To Repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010," marks the 34th time such a bill has been introduced--to no avail--in the House.
(As a side note, Bachmann dropped out of the 2012 presidential race on Jan. 4, 2012, exactly one year ago Friday.)

I heard that bachmann got Bohner to promise to let her have the first vote on this, that was around the time she decided to vote for him as Speaker again(in his office LOL) if thats what you were getting at.
But since no one ran against him....
MB needs to come up with a second idea, her first is getting old.
I won't forget the FReepers who slurped up Politico Stories castigating both Bachmann and Cain, and saying: “Yep, they're just not ready for prime time!”
Truth is, some of the folks dumping on people like Bachmann and Cain during the primaries, were most likely the same A-HOLES who didn't vote for Romney!
I blame these “Patriots” for the mess we're in now!
I stopped liking Bachmann with her vote for Boehner
We need to take the gloves off and start going bare-knuckles with these animated rectums.
Even if Bachmann’s bill stood a chance of becoming law (it almost certainly would not pass the Democrat-led Senate and be vetoed by President Obama), it’s not even the first time House Republicans have tried to repeal the act.
Don’t you just love how these Reporters throw their own opinions into what should be a news report.
I want the facts.Not this reporters biased opinion.
Who said tha Bachmann’s bill stood no chance of passing?How the hell does he know?
BTTT!
Obamacare is a train wreck, and Democrats in the Senate are about to be in the middle of it.
Remember, the Supreme Court invalidated the part in Obamacare dealing with the coercion of the states, through the withholding of Medicaid funds, to form the state exchanges. Now, thirty-some-odd states have either opted out, or are about to do so.
This means Obama must now set up a federal exchange, and no funds were allocated in the law for this purpose.
Since the exchanges were going to be the mechanism by which subsidies would flow to the poor to help them buy a policy, now the poor, already battered by the payroll tax increase, will scream like stuck pigs if forced to buy insurance.
Something’s got to give, and if you are a Senator up for reelection in 2014, you don’t want to go to your own “townhall”, because you will be skewered if the mandate stays in place. This is another “fiscal cliff” if you’re a Democrat, with no way to blame it on Republicans. Remember, the people who don’t have policies are quite happy without them, this bill is only popular with those who want the pre-existing conditions benefit. Everyone else, statistically, hates it.
This never was a health CARE crisis. Care is being provided, and the cure for a health care problem never was health insurance. The insurance companies are already screaming, because adverse selection was going to avoided only by them receiving premiums from a much larger base. Now this simply will not happen, so even those who can now afford policies, soon won’t be able to.
Perhaps Reid can ignore it this time, but at some point, and the clock is ticking.....the trains shall meet.
How about a bill that says “Any Gun Control measure the Democrats try to enact based on the current intentionally-fostered and exploited emotional circumstances RE Connecticut is D.O.A.”
I’d like to see that.
Something to cover her Fiscal Cliff vote?
Them Representatives have been busy critters in the first few days. There have been 218 House Resolutions filed according to the House Clerk’s website. The first twenty are reserved for the Speaker and the Minority Leader. For a listing go the this link and click on “House Bills” under the HOUSE Section.

LOL, still trying to attack your way out of the insane choice of that Massachusetts governor?
Yeah, she voted for Bonehead but against the `fiscal cliff’ compromise.
“Rather than a deficit reduction plan, the Senate sent us a grow government plan. I cannot support a plan that has billions in tax increases with no meaningful cuts in spending. It’s time to solve problems rather than delay them.” Michelle Bachmann
Go figger.
Idiots like yourself gave us a second term of Obama. To help justify your stupidity, you have to make the bogus assertion that Obama and Mitt are “exactly the same thing.”
If I really told you what I thought about selfish dumb sh*ts like yourself, I surely get banned. You are no Patriot; you're selfish A-hole!
Reading that post proves that not only are you foul mouthed, but a little insane.
Some people are still insane now - not siding with their own side (MB is definitely on our side, although she might not have been 100% up to these sanits’ ideals), but find faults with everyone!
Will it kill us to be appreciative and encouraging to those who tried to do good? Send them your ideas if you don’t think they are doing it the right/effective way.
Don’t d*** them if they do and d*** them if they don’t
I cannot properly appreciate this fine Conservatve female without some pictures!!
If she had been a man, she would be president today!
I’m pretty sure that the reason Bachmann and some of the others voted for the bone head is because they were afraid of being purged from their committee seats by Boehner. They don’t have the protection of a “secret ballot” vote.
No one else was running and if it went to someone else it most likely would have been Cantor who is neither an improvement nor worth the risk unless they could use a secret ballot or vote by acclamation. I’d rather have as many conservatives on the committees as possible than a failed try to unseat the boner.
We’re screwed anyway: Obama and his secret cadre of communist regulators, the UN and their Agenda 21 and plans to usurp our constitution with gun control and other Orwellian regulations (with a willing obama administration) and no one is looking at the central bankers for fear of violating the political correctness code.
