NWYC Issue Update
Health Care Law Repeal
On Wednesday, House Republicans made good on a campaign pledge by passing a bill to repeal the 2010 health care overhaul.
Following two days of heated partisan debate, the House passed the bill (HR 2), 245-189, which would overturn the health care law, often labeled the signature accomplishment of President Obama’s first term. No Republican opposed the measure and only three Democrats supported the repeal: Dan Boren (OK), Mike McIntyre (NC) and Mike Ross (AK).
The legislation is now headed for the Democrat-controlled Senate.
Take action and voice your opinion now!
Are you in favor of repealing the national health care law?
