A spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) confirmed that the House will take up the repeal of the Affordable Care Act next week, according to The Hill.
“As the White House noted, it is important for Congress to get back to work, and to that end we will resume thoughtful consideration of the healthcare bill next week,” said Cantor spokeswoman Laena Fallon. “Americans have legitimate concerns about the cost of the new healthcare law and its effect on the ability to grow jobs in our country. It is our expectation that the debate will continue to focus on those substantive policy differences surrounding the new law.”
The repeal was previously scheduled for Wednesday, January 12, but was postponed in light of the shooting rampage that took place in Tucson over the weekend.
