The drive against ObamaCare.
The Republican-led House voted yet again to repeal Obamacare on Tuesday, the latest in more than 50 votes since the law was passed in 2010 to wipe out or dismantle President Barack Obama's signature legislative achievement.
The legislation passed by a vote of 239-186. Democrats unanimously voted against it, joined by three Republicans: Reps. Robert Dold (IL), John Katko (NY) and Bruce Poliquin (ME).
It may seem like business as usual, but this time the consequences are greater.
It's the first time House Republicans are voting to repeal the law while the Senate is also under GOP control. That puts pressure on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to bring up the House repeal bill, which Senate Democrats had typically thrown in the trash once it arrived.
Even so, the legislation is all but certain to be filibustered by Senate Democrats, and the White House threatened Monday to veto it.
