Soon after the 112th Congress convenes Wednesday, House Republicans plan to make good on a campaign promise that helped vault many new members to victory: voting to repeal the health-care law.
The vote, which Republican leaders pledged would occur before President Obama's State of the Union address this month, is intended both to appeal to the House's tea-party factions and to emphasize the muscle of the new party in power. But the vote also could yield an unintended consequence: a chance for Democrats to retry their case in support of the health-care overhaul before the public.(Seattle Times)
Republicans will probably invoke any number of contradictory theories in their dismantling efforts, including the claim that it has failed to save anyone money... a claim akin to saying the sun has failed to rise at 1:00 A.M.
