With a Supreme Court decision on healthcare fast approaching, House Republicans are doubling down on efforts to bring attention to President Obama’s signature legislative issue.
The effort, which includes votes on several measures to repeal taxes under the law, is intended to highlight unpopular aspects of the landmark bill as the presidential campaign between Obama and Republican Mitt Romney heats up.
The House next week will consider measures to repeal taxes imposed on medical devices and over-the-counter medication.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) announced the votes late last month, and called the tax on medical devices in particularly “draconian” in a memo sent to GOP lawmakers.

So, the Republicans are gonna call attention to the Healthcare law? It’s about time they do something. Obozo’s so-called Healthcare law IS NOT healthcare. That’s what they need to address first. Stop the lying, cheating, stealing from taxypayers and the killing of the unborn, America’s future. If we keep killing our future, America, we won’t have a future as a nation. (“Abortion is KILLING America.”) We are already in BIG trouble because we have brutally murdered more than 50 million innocent unborm Americans since 1973. Why does the Catholic Church have a shortage of Priests? Why isn’t there enough young workers out there to pay into the social security system to keep paying the retired elderly? How many of those murdered unborn did God choose to be priests or ministers? How many of them could have been doctors or scientists who would have found a cure for cancer, aids, etc.? We’ve played God for too long and now we are reaping what we have sowed. Let’s rise to the challenge and stop murdering our future, America. Nothing’s impossible with God.
