House lawmakers voted for the first time since the Supreme Court ruling at the end of June to repeal Obamacare once again. The Republican-led House had previously voted against Obamacare in January 2011. Consequently, it never went pass the House because the Democrat-controlled Senate voted it down. As was the last time, this vote was nothing more than symbolic. The bill to repeal the law was by a 244-185 vote. The House's vote to repeal Obamacare will go nowhere because the Senate is controlled by the Democrats and President Obama is still the president. House Republicans know this. I believe they held this symbolic vote to give the false impression to conservative voters they are very serious about repealing Obamacare. I'm not convinced of that. The House Republicans need to get together to defund Obamacare, which they could do since they are in the majority. Fox News states that the House has voted 30 times to scrap, defund, or undercut the law since Obama signed it into law in March 2010. If the House voted to defund Obamacare, then it wasn't a serious vote. The House can defund Obamacare since it has Republican votes. I believe this is all a joke. The Republicans want to persuade conservative and independent minded voters to believe they are serious about repealing Obamacare since this is a presidential and Congressional election year.
The Republicans prove my point all the time it's all about the issue. They want the issue but they have no intention to solve the problem. I wish they would stop campaigning on repealing the Affordable Care Act. I would respect them if they would stop campaigning on this issue if they're not serious about doing what it takes to stop this bill which would change America's economic and social landscape as we know it. Repealing Obamacare will be very difficult considering all the bureaucracy and legislation that will be involved in this monstrosity.
