For the 33rd time, the House has passed a vote to repeal the health care reform law. Five Democrats voted for the repeal. The effort is expected to die in the Senate, which is led by a Democratic majority. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act on June 28.

This is a completely symbolic vote. Instead of talking about real issues, they waste a bunch of time voting on something they know will never pass the Senate, allowing a bunch of incumbents to score political points among their one-track-mind constituents as the election season approaches.
More reason to go to a 4 year congressional term … though that would never pass.

Why spend time on this vote instead of reforming the current law?

The law is so full of mindless bureaucracies, it is beyond repair. The only way to effectively repair it, would be to repeal it in its entirety. Just the section alone on the maintaining of a globalized record access, brings about in the area of over 20 issues that would cost Doctors and Hospitals to have to nearly triple their costs. And that is only one section. Pelosicare (as Obama’s went down the drain, and Nancy Pelosi had to over see the rewriting and forcing of this bill) is a major piece of careless bureaucracy that should have never had been passed.
