House to Vote Yet Again on Repealing Obamacare

“The 37th time won’t be the charm. But House Republicans are charging forward anyway this week on a vote to repeal President Obama’s signature health care overhaul, which will put the number of times they have tried to eliminate, defund or curtail the law past the three-dozen mark,” the New York Times reports.

“The repeal vote, which is likely to occur Thursday, will be at least the 43rd day since Republicans took over the House that they have devoted time to voting on the issue. To put that in perspective, they have held votes on only 281 days since taking power in January 2011… That means that since 2011, Republicans have spent no less than 15 percent of their time on the House floor on repeal in some way. ”
