BREAKING: Bipartisan Bill Gutting Obamcare Passes House by 90 Votes

Conservative Tribune — The destructive monstrosity called Obamacare suffered another catastrophic hit today, as it would be gutted by a new bill that just passed the House earlier today.
The bill, which passed with 90 votes, including 27 Democrat votes, would reduce the fine down to zero for violating the individual mandate. This is great news.

Not surprisingly, Obama is already threatening to veto the bill, showing just how clueless he is about the Obamacare’s destructive effects on individuals and businesses (or perhaps he just doesn’t care).

The Weekly Standard writes:

The House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday afternoon to make the fine/“tax” for violating Obamacare’s individual mandate $0 for this year, and it did so by the wide margin of 90 votes (250 to 160). That’s 83 more than the 7-vote margin (219 to 212) by which Obamacare passed the House four Marches ago. Moreover, 27 Democrats voted for today’s legislation—27 more than the number of Republicans who voted for Obamacare when it passed. In all, 223 Republicans voted for today’s bill, while only one—Paul Broun of Georgia—voted against it. Here’s the member-by-member tally for the vote.

Earlier today, the Obama White House released a 3-paragraph statement on the legislation, noting that Obamacare “helps millions of Americans stay on their parents’ plans until age 26”—which, of course, has nothing to do with the individual mandate or the fine/“tax” for violating it—and saying that if President Obama were presented with the legislation, “he would veto it.”
Given the wide margin by which the legislation passed the House, along with the significant level of bipartisan support with which it passed, perhaps the Senate will actually take a vote, pass the bill, and give Obama that chance. That would provide a welcome reminder to the American people of the extent to which Obama’s centerpiece legislation relies upon coercion.

Democrats who are vulnerable for this year’s midterm elections know that this law is destructive and wildly unpopular. They don’t want to take a chance and vote down any measure that would gut Obamacare. The key now is to force Senate Democrats up for re-election to take a clear position this bill in a straight up-or-down vote, so we force them into either abandoning Obama or abandoning their constituents by voting down Obamacare’s individual mandate. That’s a choice they’re desperately trying to avoid.
