House votes to repeal PPACA

In a 239-186 vote, the Republican-led House has passed legislation to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

However, it is unlikely the legislation will go far even with Republicans controlling the Senate and having a bigger majority in the House.

Earlier this month, at the House Democratic Issues Conference in Philadelphia, President Barack Obama said he had lost count of the number of times the GOP has attempted to repeal the PPACA. He also said he would "happily" veto the most recent attempt.
