Amendment vote to repeal the job-killing health care law

I’m now into my series on the MURDER of unborn babies. I will interrupt the series as needed, as I am doing today, with the amendment vote for ending nationalized healthcare. A vote that demonstrates a major difference between Democrats and Republicans. One party votes for federal control and power. One party votes for free enterprise, freedom of choice, and the U.S. Constitution.
