House Votes to Repeal Obamacare

Today, the U.S House voted (244-185) in support of H.R. 6079 to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010."

All Republican Representatives and five democrats voted for repeal. The Democrats voting with the American people to repeal one of the biggest tax hikes in history were Mike Ross of Arkansas, Jim Matheson of Utah, Larry Kissell and Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, and Dan Boren of Oklahoma.

Mike Ross and Dan Boren are not running for re-election. The The other three democrats face very tight races or are in the negatives for re-election in states moving more into the Republican column.

However, Mike Ross is from Arkansas where its Democrat Governor Mike Beebe desires to have Arkansas be the first state to fully implement Obamacare before he leaves office. However, the Republican Lt. Governor of Arkansas, Mark Darr, not only opposed Obmacare but also filed an amicus brief opposing the unconstitutionality of the mandate provision of the Affordable Care Act.
