Despite the recent Supreme Court ruling upholding ObamaCare subsidies, opponents of the law remain poised to strike a key blow against another component of the health care overhaul in a matter of months.
Republicans, with help from Democrats, have gained momentum in their long-running effort to repeal the law's controversial 2.3 percent excise tax on medical devices.
The House voted 280-140 to nix the tax, which went into effect in 2013, in June; the debate heads next to the Senate. While Republicans have tried dozens of times to unravel all or parts of the law through repeal legislation, this bill has bipartisan backing -- and, with a potential veto showdown on the horizon, supporters may even have a veto-proof majority.

Isn’t there still a real estate transfer tax?
Get back to me when they rescind the tax on personal income for oblameecare.
The headline is incomplete without Benny Hill theme and a laugh track.
Is this the best they can do? (After a 1 1/2 private meeting with my Congressman last Wed., I think the answer is yes.)
Congress is totally befuddled by the SCOTUS decision and has lost the will to fight.
I wish they would actually do something useful like enact into LAW the PEACE ACT!
PEACE ACT
Public Employee Affordable Care Enrollment ACT
ALL Public Employees, Public Servants, Public Officials, and Officers of the Court, SHALL purchase private Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Health Exchange.
I believe our Public Employees deserve the very best quality and affordable health care the Country has to offer. That my friends, according to the MEDIA, President, And Elected officials all across this country is “The Affordable Care Act”.
Riiiiiiiight
Get back to me when they strongly limit the subsidies for society’s welfare sponges.
Republicans could eliminate the “tax” / fee penalizing non-compliance with commie-care, killing the entire thing.
But they wont.
Because they are socialists lite.
The key wording is in the header. They may “look” for it, but based on their most recent performances, they ain’t gonna see it. Much less do anything about it. On a secondary note, I guess we’re gonna have a buy out of Humana by Aetna yet, didn’t I just hear the other day that GE was denied their bid to buy Electrolux (or vice versa) because it would cut down on the competition? Must be some big bucks changing hands in the health care industry due to some palms needing greased in Dysfunctional City.
Of course the corporate class has priority over us peons.

Why not wait until a republican is in office who will blackmail Roberts like the current president has doen so that Roberts will vote on the side of republicans? Why take the chance that the current leader will blackmail him again and we’ll lose this crucial vote as well
I won’t be holding my breath on this if it is OK with you.
The pubeies aren’t going to do spit.... which reminds me.. drop my party affiliation. I don’t want to be counted with such traitors and liars as the pubeocrats.
Oh boy! That really guts Obamacare. That’s the kind of major blow to it that we have all been waiting for.
I just recently had to purchase two rechargeable batteries for my Cochlear Implants...(Medical Device)
Two small batteries were $500.00
unbelievable...
They exhaled a collective sigh after the Supreme fascist ruled in favor of changing the law so that our tax dollars can be given away to the moochers!
Just another dog and pony show for the gullible Americans who will watch this theater and think what a great thing the RINO’s just did getting rid of this tax, when in fact even the socialist don't want it!
Get the popcorn and soda and sit back and watch another bull$hit dog and pony show brought to you by the RINO’s in congress!
“Republicans look to deliver blow against ObamaCare tax”
Yawn...
Doesn't "lost" imply they had a will to begin with?
Hahahaha yeah. Really busts up that whole piece of legislation now don’t it?
And you wonder why elected officials go from dirt poor to millionaires in less than a few terms in office.
