Last year, millions of Americans raised their voices against the federal takeover of health care.  Republican candidates for the U.S. House were among them, and the repeal of ObamaCare became a central part of House Republicans’ Pledge to America. 

Next week, a vote to repeal ObamaCare will be a promise kept by the new Republican majority in Congress. 

The Republican leadership of the U.S. House has set Wednesday, January 12^th as the day to vote on a repeal of the health care law.  The repeal legislation is said to be a brief document that revokes the law – a stark contrast to the thousand page behemoth the Democrats passed last year over the objections of the American people. 

The top priority of the newly elected Republicans in Congress is to protect and create jobs.  And one of the best and quickest ways to preserve jobs is to immediately repeal ObamaCare and the job killing provisions it carries with it.  The new taxes and penalties in the health care law, and the provisions that penalize small businesses from growing too large, will prolong our economic difficulty and make it more difficult for small businesses to invest in themselves and grow.    

The vote next Wednesday is just the first step in the long road to final repeal of ObamaCare.  But it is a step worth taking to protect American jobs and live up to the trust of the American people.
