Eric Cantor's HR 2 to repeal ObamaCare passed in U.S. House

Received Wednesday afternoon from Leader Eric Cantor's office....

Just minutes ago, the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's bill to fully repeal Obamacare.The final vote was 245 to 189, including all 242 Republicans and 3 Democrats.

H.R. 2, sponsored by Congressman Eric Cantor, now goes before the U.S. Senate for consideration. The full text of the bill that passed the House is as follows:
A BILL
To repeal the job-killing health care law and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act'.

SEC. 2. REPEAL OF THE JOB-KILLING HEALTH CARE LAW AND HEALTH CARE-RELATED PROVISIONS IN THE HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION RECONCILIATION ACT OF 2010.

(a) Job-Killing Health Care Law- Effective as of the enactment of Public Law 111-148, such Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.

(b) Health Care-Related Provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010- Effective as of the enactment of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-152), title I and subtitle B of title II of such Act are repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such title or subtitle, respectively, are restored or revived as if such title and subtitle had not been enacted.
Harry Reid (D) has said the U.S. Senate will not even allow this to come to a vote. Put pressure on our two Virginia U.S. Senators to let this come to a vote because, after all, if Sen. Reid is so sure that it will stand in the Senate, why not let it go to a vote?
