WASHINGTON – This becomes the 31st time the House has voted on the issue. Because some Blue Dog Democrats are expected to cross party lines and vote for the repeal, it is expected to pass.
Sen. Mitch McConnell will follow with a similar vote in the Senate soon. But that repeal vote is expected to fail.

Hey, I thought the republicans were so hot on personal responsibility. So how come they want to go to ERs when they are ill and leave it to the rest of us to pick up the tab? Small medical problems can probably be handled out of pocket but try that with a heart attack, stroke or cancer. You better have 400k lying around for payment!
