Republicans Move to Dismantle Obama’s Health-Care Law

With a symbolic vote to repeal President Barack Obama’s health-care overhaul, the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives is starting a two-year campaign to undermine the law through piecemeal dismantling tactics and efforts to weaken public support.

The House plans today to pass legislation that would roll back the law, fulfilling Republican campaign promises. Democrats, who control the Senate, say that they will block a repeal effort in that chamber -- and that, in any case, Obama would veto any such measure that reached his desk.
