On January 19, 2011, the [[U.S. House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] passed a bill to repeal ObamaCare with 245-189 votes in favor of the repeal. The House voted to overturn President Obama's health care takeover -- a move that is largely symbolic because the Democratic-controlled Senate is poised to ignore it while Obama is certain to [[veto]] it should it somehow pass through Congress.<ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/19/house-poised-vote-health-law-repeal/ House Republicans Vote to Overturn ObamaCare in Symbolic Move], [[Fox News|FoxNews.com]], Published January 19, 2011.</ref> The [[Tea Party Movement]] firmly supports the proposed repeal of ObamaCare.  Repealing the bill would also eliminate $770 billion in the newly mandated tax increases.<ref>Philip Klein.
