Hanabusa Votes ‘No’ On Health Care Repeal Rule
The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday (July 10) “approved a rule governing debate for the Republicans’ Repeal of Obamacare Act on Tuesday.”
Members voted 240-182 in favor of the rule, “which sets up five hours of debate that will take place Tuesday and Wednesday.”
Excerpt from this report in The Hill:
The vote came after a debate that seemed to raise the question of why five hours of debate is needed at all.
Democrats reiterated their arguments that the repeal bill, H.R. 6079, will go nowhere after the House, and that the House is therefore wasting its time. They also noted the repeated attempts Republicans have previously made to repeal all or part of the bill.
Rep. Colleen Hanabusa voted along with most Democrats against the repeal rule. Rep. Mazie Hirono did not vote.
