A good time today with the efforts to repeal the health care law.

Moves forward the house passing that repeal by nearly sixty those they have five Democrats.

Who broke ranks and voted with the Republicans saying that they wanted to turn over the health care law as well so the senate now is being pushed to take up.

That law as well we'll see if they actually do that that's a brand new hour starting right now here in America's Newsroom are glad to have you with us on a third -- -- -- -- And I'm Bill Hemmer good morning good morning to you earlier the chairman of the House Budget Committee Paul Ryan.

All -- talking -- Sean Hannity late last night about Republicans will continue working toward a repeal because he says that's what Americans favor.

This is up to the American people.

Through their elected representatives.

To repeal and replace this law and what we're demonstrating today is that the house representatives here and ready to do that.

The question now is the United States senate and the president obviously they're not going to do that.

And so Peter -- live on this story this morning in Washington Peter.

Is a house gonna wait until November to try to pursue this again.

Martha they clearly don't want to wait because yesterday it was the 33.

Time the GOP controlled house has held a -- either repeal or defund.

And for those who did not support repeal the last time it's a chance for our colleagues to reconsider.

As being about three times higher.

In president Obama's original estimate but even at the repeal measure got through the senate President Obama has vowed to repeal.

It's.

Testing these votes.

Does nothing to improve.

The bottom line for middle class families does nothing to send a single.

An eighteen year old American to college.

Does nothing to.

And help build.

New industries in this country.

And in a brand new Quinnipiac University poll that's out today a majority of Americans agreed that the Affordable Care Act is a tax -- 55% of them but.

Then in a slightly mixed message that same poll shows that 48%.

Agree with the supreme court's decision to uphold the law.

But about the same number 49%.

Think that congress should repeal it.

And -- lot of mixed messages in that Peter thank you very much speed -- -- you -- --
