HC Reform Update from Mark Sanna: Legislation repealing President Obama's health care overhaul cleared a key procedural hurdle in the House of Representatives on Friday, advancing a top priority of the new Republican congressional majority. The sharply partisan 236-181 vote probably will set up a final House vote to undo the measure next Wednesday. Almost every Republican voted to advance the measure; nearly every Democrat opposed it. While a successful repeal vote would fulfill a GOP campaign promise, the measure is considered to have virtually no chance of surviving either the Democratic-controlled Senate or a promised presidential veto.
