Obama vetoes Obamacare repeal bill

There was no veto ceremony or press coverage, as Obama signed it behind closed doors. To make the bill qualify, the Senate changed the bill to eliminate the tax penalties used for enforcement of the individual mandate section of the Affordable Care Act.

The GOP bill targeting Obamacare passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday by a margin of 240 to 181, with only one Democrat voting in favor of it.

President Barack Obama Friday officially vetoed the bill that would have repealed key parts of the Affordable Care Act.

“This law will collapse under its own weight, or it will be repealed”, Mr. Ryan said.

“We are confronting the president with the hard, honest truth: ObamaCare doesn’t work”, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) said at the time of the vote, according to The Hill. All the GOP presidential candidates support repealing the law widely referred to as “Obamacare”. “That’s all history”, Ryan continued, adding it will only be a matter of time before Obamacare is repealed.

“The president’s decision to keep #Obamacare in place is bad for America”, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy tweeted.

“We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all”, Sanger once said, who was reportedly a staunch advocate of eugenics.

“This legislation would cost millions of hard-working middle-class families the security of affordable health coverage they deserve”, Obama wrote in his veto message.

As previously reported, Planned Parenthood outlined in its annual report released at the end of December that the organization performed 323,999 abortions nationwide during the 2014-2015 fiscal year. “What’s more, he denied Americans a chance at relief from his disastrous health-care law that – almost six years later – still remains underwater in public opinion polls”.

“Mr. President, by vetoing this bill, you alone bear the moral responsibility for sending taxpayer dollars to a group that has engaged in the selling of baby body parts”.

“It is now our task to craft a new solution that will lower costs and improve access to care for all”, Republican Study Committee Chairman Bill Flores, R-Texas, said in a prepared statement. In fact, it’s pretty clear that they never intended for it to pass, because it would completely break the health-care system.

In October, he was named by then-House Speaker John Boehner to an investigative committee convened to find the “full truth” behind Planned Parenthood’s alleged selling of tissue from aborted fetuses.
