Boehner and Cantor back efforts to repeal entirety of healthcare reform By Michael O'Brien - 06/30/10 09:43 AM ET
The top two House Republicans signed onto two petitions to force votes to repeal Democrats' healthcare reform law in its entirety.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said they had signed onto discharge petitions set to be offered by members of their conference, one of which would seek to repeal health reform in its entirety.
Boehner and Cantor said they'd back discharge petitions by Reps. Steve King (R-Iowa) and Wally Herger (R-Calif.), a method to force a vote in the House. A majority of the House — 218 members — must sign onto a discharge petition, though, to force a vote, meaning that a vote on repeal in the House would be a steep climb. ...................>>>>..................>>>>...................http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-.....ety-of-health-reform
Just a ploy by the dems to redeem themselves before the nov. election.
