U.S. health policy: Republicans want to overturn Obama's reform

The health reform of U.S. President Barack Obama has been passed - but the Republicans continue feeling against the law created. Even in January, the party wants to bring reform to the case. This she needed but Democratic supporters. Washington - Republicans in the House want to bring the Gesundheitsrefom U.S.

President Barack Obama to case. The legislation has already passed. Republican Fred Upton, the new chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, said his party plan in the House in January, a vote to repeal the reform. This should happen before Obama's speech on the state of the nation in late January.

You have so Upton, but almost enough support. While Obama can prevent a lifting of the veto by reform. But Upton said in the TV show "Fox News Sunday": "I do not think we would be very far from, the voices have to overturn a veto." For this, the Republicans need in both chambers of Congress - Senate and House of Representatives - a two-thirds majority.

In the House, the Republicans since the mid-term elections of 2010 a majority in the Senate but have not. According to the Democrats wasted the Republicans with her initiative, only time. No later than the Democratic Senate majority will end it. Upton takes the contrary view, a convincing vote of the House of Representatives against the reform could change the mood in the Senate.

Upton wants to bring in his own words, the reform piece by piece basis. "We will look at the individual parts to see if we can not bring it to collapse." Among other things, Upton will tilt the individual obligation to have health insurance. The Democratic Representative Debbie Wasserman said, however, the citizens learned every day about the benefits of reform.

This reduces the chances that they will be canceled. /
