Rep. Jim Jordan said Friday that he’s pushing a clean Obamacare repeal bill in the House in an end-run move around leadership.
“It’s the same exact legislation we passed 18 months ago — we all voted for, the Senate voted for. We want to bring this to the floor. Our leadership won’t do that. So the only way to go around them is to start what’s called a discharge petition,” Mr. Jordan, Ohio Republican and a member of the House Freedom Caucus, said on Fox News.
Mr. Jordan said he plans to begin gathering signatures for the petition Friday, and when he gets the required number, he’ll call for a vote.
‘[House Speaker Paul D. Ryan] says there aren’t the votes there, but saying they’re aren’t the votes there and actually calling to question are actually two different things,” Mr. Jordan said.
Part of his motivation in making this legislative move is to prove the House can follow through on its promise of repealing Obamacare. He said some in the Senate have accused the House of not being able to pass a clean repeal bill, which Mr. Jordan said isn’t true.
“Frankly, I’d like to prove that that House can do what we said because some senators say, well, the House can’t pass clean repeal. That’s why they didn’t support it. I want to prove to them that we can. So this is the way to do it,” he said.

DRAIN THE STINKING SWAMP!!!!
Pretty expensive for what amounts to catastrophic care coverage
“DRAIN THE STINKING SWAMP!!!!”
It’s a stinking sewer!
At least someone in Congress is working. The rest collect paychecks, sit around doing nothing, or vote no on Trump’s agenda.
What is your point?
Do you not want a repeal?
Is he or is he not wasting his time?
He is one of the less than half-dozen in Senate wearing a white hat most of the time.
Frankly, I appreciate the fact that in spite of McConnell’s whining and attacking Trump, Jordan is pushing fora repeal a repeal as per Trump’s wishes.
Anything that pushes that issue and forces a vote for all to see is not beating a dead horse to me.
Couldn’t hurt...he deserves conservatives’ support IMHO :)
May be wasting his time, but not ours ;)
Go, Jim Jordan!
If his bill passes, they better have a replacement for odumbocare in hand, Trump is really upset with those “do nothings”. there has been more than enough time to devise a new insurance coverage to replace the mess called “obamacare”.
This congressman is a fighter and a patriot. I wish he were Speaker instead of the liar Ryan.
Jim Jordan was a national wrestling champion. Wrestlers never give up.

Not just the premiums...the deductibles are about $10,000 too.
Sticker shock is going to blow people’s minds come October enrollment
In many cases, monthly premiums are going to exceed some people take home pay
Good for Jordan. An on the record, up or down vote. Make them squirm.
