REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SCHEDULE SYMBOLIC VOTE TO ABOLISH NATIONAL HEALTH CARE LAW............

Thirteen days after the United States Supreme Court upheld the Constitutionality of President Obama's Patient Protection Affordable Care Act, National Health Care Law by a 5-4 vote, the Republican controlled House of Representatives held their 33rd vote in opposition to the law, symbolizing their intention to continue trying to abolish what they call Obamacare.  The vote tally today was 244-185, with five Democrats joining with all the House Republicans in voting to end the National Health Care Law.  If another vote to repeal the Law is taken in the U.S. Senate before the end of the year, it is sure to fail, with Democrats in the majority.   Meanwhile the presumptive GOP Presidential standardbearer Governor Mitt Romney, speaking before the annual National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, (NAACP) Convention in Houston, Texas; told those assembled he will eliminate Obamacare if he is elected President, and was rounded booed for a sustained fifteen seconds by the attendees.  The political fight over the Affordable Care Act proceeds into the General Election campaign, and is sure to be a focal point of the National Conventions, and Presidential Debates, as well as in the Congressional races for the House and Senate.  A new Gallup Poll released this week, shows an eight percent increase in support for Obamacare from 39% in April, to 47% now; as the politics in support and opposition to the new Health Care Law moves forward.  As partisanship and polarization shapes the electoral landscape in our politically divided 50-50 country, where only six to nine percent of American voters are either Independents or Undecided, a close, contentious, outcome to the future of the National Health Care Law, that is politically charged and intensive, is all but definite............Fr.  Troy
