House Set to Vote on Obamacare Repeal



The United States House of Representatives is set to vote on a bill that would repeal the government healthcare takeover in the coming week. There's about a 99.99% chance that this bill will have absolutely no affect on standing healthcare law. With a democratically-controlled U.S. Senate and Obama in the White House, this initiative will never become law.

The remaining reason for this vote is to at least attempt to make good at the promises Republicans had made to voters before the election. Almost 70% of Americans are against and favor the repeal of this healthcare takeover and the House Republicans have made good on their promise. Even if this bill doesn't go anywhere, the Republicans are at least attempting to make progress in reducing the national debt and creating a climate for job growth. On the other hand, democrats have been on a course of nonstop spending, gibing us trillions and trillions of dollars of debt in only the past few years.

The Republican House has started off on a good note and seems to be addressing the grave concerns that our nation is facing. The only thing we can hope for is that these newly elected House members stick to their principles and their promises and are able to cut reckless spending that is driving our great nation into the ditch.
