Lance's press statement reads, “Instead of making health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans, Obamacare is driving up costs and putting the government between patients and their doctors. Today the House has taken formal action to repeal the President’s health care law and replace it with patient-centered solutions that use competition and innovation to drive down costs, crack down on frivolous lawsuits and reduce waste, fraud and abuse. As a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee I look forward to being on the front-lines of this effort."
The trouble with the veto privilege, that Obama is tempted to use, is that it sets the stage for electing a Republican President. Failures within the legislation have been substantial enough to prompt a repeal, that is something that cannot go unnoticed, let alone un-remedied. Those who voted to put a majority of Republicans in both houses and into the various executive offices were hoping for this exact sort of change.
