BREAKING: House Passes Senate's Obamacare Repeal Bill, 240-181
Guy Benson | Jan 06, 2016

Now on to the veto. How will it affect New Hampshire and Iowa AND Super Tuesday?

"President Obama will veto the measure, but the symbolism -- this can be done with a Republican president -- is significant."

    I doubt it's symbolic. It's a "Sigh, we tried" gesture. I believe the next step, Democrat or Republican, is one payer.

      Not if they want to cure the present mess. Example. I used the insurance from one for the common ordinary run of the mill not too costly occasions. The second insurer and they were known as primary and secondary picked up the slack. When my daughter went to hospital for a serious and expensive med treatment the total bill was ball park $110,000.00. Between The then wife's employment insurance, my retirement insurance and my full time job insurance out of pocket was $400.00. The three shared the cost and I shared the payments each month.

      The current system offers zilch because it violated common sense mathematics and actuary statistics and failed to account for human nature. Increased population is one of those. Actuary is an other way of setting the odds. The government has one extra advantage called debt repudiation. They didn't deliver as promised. But if you want to see really high premiums go single payer. That includes my health care for life contractual guarantee for time in the military. $100 a month just for Medicare Part B and D.

      As a result I live in FNA and pay everything out of pocket UNTIL a big one hits. Then I go check into the best available hospital and let them worry about collecting.

        I wish this repeal was about curing the present mess. To my mind it is a continuance of the show our congressional actors put on.

        A one payer system, I believe, is the end goal for the people in Washington.

        The cost of a one payer system will be paid for in lives more so than in dollars and cents.

    It's about time but IMHO, too little too late! And I'm afraid it's simply an act of symbolism. They have had 5 years to put something like this on his desk and they wait until an election year to finally do their job. Just more playing politics.

    More political posturing from the looters in congress. This is how they justify to the GOP voters that they can be trusted to ":try" to fulfill one campaign promise in 30 years. They know that GOP voters have "faith" in their GOP looters.

    A significant comment was the 500 billion a year reduction in deficit spending not a reduction in the deficit already spent. IF and it's a big IF it's not treated as found money and spent on something else - like the infamous Peace Dividend. there are many worth while causes...ethanol subsidies for one.
