The Republican-led U.S. House passed legislation that lets insurers
sell for another year health policies that don’t meet the requirements
of the Affordable Care Act.
Today’s 261-157 vote, with the backing of about 39 Democrats, follows
by a day President Barack Obama’s proposal of a one-year reprieve for
Americans whose health policies have been canceled. Obama’s announcement
sought to limit what could have been more Democratic votes for the
Republican bill.
White House officials said Obama would veto the measure from Michigan
Republican Fred Upton, saying it was intended to “sabotage” the
president’s signature health-care law. House Democratic leaders said the
bill is the Republicans’ 46th attempt to curtail the law.
“Working families across America were counting on the president to

said today on the House floor before the vote. “Now, they are counting
on us to ease some of the pain that his health-care law has brought
them.”
