The U.S. Senate, in a pure party line vote, turned down an amendment that would have repealed the Affordable Care Act by 51-47. No Democrats voted to repeal, and every Republican voted to repeal.
Some are saying that more legislative votes have been cast to repeal Obamacare than enact it. Big deal. That and $2 will buy you a cup of Starbuck’s coffee.
Now, for defunding and incremental repeals.
Or to put it in 60s vernacular:
Hey, hey: Ho, ho:
Obamacare has got to go.
Update: The Senate has repealed the ridiculous 1099 reporting requirement in Obamacare by a huge margin. From the story:
The Senate voted Wednesday for the first time to repeal a piece of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, rolling back a new tax reporting requirement that’s been universally panned by business owners. The amendment to repeal the 1099 reporting requirement passed 81-17 with broad bipartisan support.
The provision requires businesses to report any payment made for a good or service of $600 or more to the government. Talk about choking on paperwork! What is wrong with the 17?
