House Votes To Repeal Obama Care With Bipartisan Support

Today, the House voted to repeal Obama Care with bipartisan support. From Politco: House Republicans passed a bill to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care plan Wednesday, taking their first major step toward rolling back the massive overhaul that has dominated the American political landscape for almost two years.
The vote was 245 to 189, and unanimous GOP opposition gave the vote the same partisan feel of the March vote to pass the law, underscoring once again the hardened political lines of the health care debate. Only three Democrats backed the repeal, a smaller number than Republicans had once predicted.

Of course, 3 Democratic votes is not overwhelming, but it technically is bipartisan. Remember when the Senate passed some bills with 1-3 GOP members support, Harry Reid claimed he had bipartisan support.
Of course, this bill really means nothing. Harry Reid is too much of a chicken to let the Senate vote on this bill. But it shows that the GOP is still united in the House.
