House passes partial ObamaCare repeal
Source: The Hill
The House voted along party lines on Friday to approve a budget reconciliation bill that would repeal parts of ObamaCare and halt federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
Only seven House Republicans voted against the partial ObamaCare repeal bill, though it has become a target of opposition from 2016 presidential candidates Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), as well as powerful groups such as Heritage Action for America.
The final total was 240-189. Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), a vocal opponent of abortion, was the only Democrat to break ranks.

The bill would knock down key pillars of the president’s healthcare law, including the individual and employer mandates and the so-called Cadillac tax and the medical device tax. It would also halt funding to Planned Parenthood for one year.

They're so "efficient" that way.
If I'm reading this right, look at what they're doing... by leaving in the things people like (the benefits) and taking out the things people don't like ("the individual and employer mandates and the so-called Cadillac tax and the medical device tax"
what they're doing is basically embracing the benefits of Obamacare, but unlike Obama, taking away the means to pay for them. That is not responsible governing, and it shows Republicans unconcerned with what they say they are concerned about, how to pay for the social programs people want. Sure, let's keep the good stuff, but leave it unpaid for... that's the Republican way!
