I've seen polls where over 60% want Obamacare scrapped. Obamacare was the reason the Democrat party got "shellacked" in November not the economy. Everyone I talk to, especially fellow small businessmen, want this monstrosity repealled ASAP. It is a small business killer.

You will remember when that vote passed in the House last March, it only passed by seven votes.” Upton, whose committee will play a key role in the GOP's effort to roll back the law, said that he believes the House may be near the two-thirds majority required to override a presidential veto. “If we pass this bill with a sizeable vote, and I think that we will, it will put enormous pressure on the Senate to do perhaps the same thing,” he said. “But then, after that, we're going to go after this bill piece by piece.” Upton specifically called out the requirement for businesses to complete 1099 tax forms, the individual mandate and the amendment on abortion introduced by Michigan Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak. "We will look at these individual pieces to see if we can't have the thing crumble," he said. |
