The House will hold five hours of debate on Tuesday and Wednesday on
legislation that would completely repeal the 2010 healthcare law, which
is being called up by Republicans in light of the Supreme Court's
decision that the individual health insurance mandate is constitutional.
The House Rules Committee approved a rule late Monday setting out the lengthy debate on a bill that is expected to pass with Republican support, but very little if any Democratic support. The Repeal of Obamacare Act, H.R. 6079, was formally introduced by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on Monday.
Under the rule, the House Committees on Education and the Workforce, Energy and Commerce, and Ways and Means will each control one hour of debate. House Committees on Budget, Judiciary and Small Business will each control 30 minutes.
Finally, Majority Leader Cantor and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will split the last 30 minutes.
The House is expected to start work on the bill by debating and approving the rule, which will take an hour early Tuesday afternoon. A final vote on passage on the bill itself is expected Wednesday.
