House to Have 5-Hour Debate on Repeal of Healthcare Law

The U.S. House of Representatives will hold five hours of debate today and Wednesday on legislation to repeal the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, according to a Hill report.

Republicans are calling up the debate following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the PPACA. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) formerly introduced The Repeal of Obamacare Act on Monday. A final vote on passage of the bill is expected Wednesday, according to the report.

Meanwhile, the White House issued a statement saying President Obama would veto the bill if it gets to his desk, which is unlikely to happen given the Democratic-controlled Senate.
