Senate is trying to cancel Obamacare

On Thursday, 3 in December, the Senate voted to repeal the key provisions of Obamacare and depriving federal funding of Planned Parenthood by adopting a bill that Obama will definitely veto.

47 of 52 senators supported the bill. Two moderate Republicans, Susan Collins of Maine and Mark Kirk of Illinois, did not support the bill, and Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders was absent.

The bill must approve the White House. This will be the second attempt. The first version of the bill failed in October.

However, on Wednesday, the White House announced that Obama would veto the bill if it falls on his desk.

Democrats claim that Obamacare has helped 17,6 millions of Americans get health insurance.

“Middle-class Americans are still calling on Washington to build a bridge from Obamacare. They want to be taken better care of. They want real health care reform. For too long, Democrats have done everything they can to keep Congress from passing the legislation needed to help Americans who are hurting. “That ends today,” says Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The Republicans tried more than a dozen times to push the Planned Parenthood law on the deprivation of federal funding, but they could not get 60 votes. On Thursday, they were able to pass the bill by simple majority thanks to a procedure such as budget comparison.

Recall the reform of american healthcare was developed Democratic Party on the initiative of US President Barack Obama, to make medical care more accessible to the public. Since 2010, the Republicans have made about 40 attempts to block it. One of the main provisions of the reform is the obligation of companies with more than 50 staff to purchase insurance for their employees. In the summer of 2013, it became known that the US government had postponed the introduction of this standard to the beginning of 2015.

Previously, three people, among them one policeman, were killed shooting in the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Planned Parenthood, receiving state funding, was previously in the center scandal, which the Forum spoke about in detail. In a video published by abortion opponents, fund officials in an expensive restaurant discussed with the “customer” the sale of embryo parts.
