H.R. 2 ... will Cantor's bill to repeal ObamaCare be introduced in U.S. Senate?

Will H.R. 2, the bill sponsored by Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) to repeal ObamaCare, be introduced to the U.S. Senate? Democrat Harry Reid says no. Republicans says yes. Of course, Democrats are in the majority. However, many are up for reelection in 2012.

The U.S. House passed H.R. 2 on Wednesday by a vote of 245 to 189. All 242 Republicans and three Democrats voted for it.

Here is the text of the Bill:
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(a) Job-Killing Health Care Law- Effective as of the enactment of Public Law 111-148, such Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.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Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-152), title I and subtitle B of title II of such Act are repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such title or subtitle, respectively, are restored or revived as if such title and subtitle had not been enacted.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?
