House Will Vote to Repeal Obamacare Before the State of the Union

That's the prediction by Rep. Fred Upton:

The new Republican-majority House will vote on repealing or changing last year's health care overhaul before the State of the Union address, Rep. Fred Upton, incoming chairman of the energy and commerce committee, said on "Fox News Sunday."

Upton, a Michigan Republican, said that his party had 242 votes in favor of repeal, and that "there will be a significant number of Democrats who will join us."

If the House does manage to repeal the health care bill, such a move would likely meet strong obstacles in the Democrat-controlled Senate and White House.

Even though it will never get past the Senate or Obama it still needs to be done. The people who put the new GOP majority in power will never forgive them if fail to pass a bill just because the Senate or Obama won't approve it.
