Since economy sucks, I would think Obama would agree to this to alleviate burden

But, he doesn't care at all about the american citizen. He will veto it, even if the Senate bothers to bring it to the floor, which they haven't for most legislations sent from the House of Representatives.

Bill to Make the Fine $0 for Violating the Individual Mandate Passes by 90 Votes

The House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday afternoon to make the fine/“tax” for violating Obamacare’s individual mandate $0 for this year, and it did so by the wide margin of 90 votes (250 to 160).  That’s 83 more than the 7-vote margin (219 to 212) by which Obamacare passed the House four Marches ago.  Moreover, 27 Democrats voted for today’s legislation—27 more than the number of Republicans who voted for Obamacare when it passed.  In all, 223 Republicans voted for today’s bill, while only one—Paul Broun of Georgia—voted against it.  Here’s the member-by-member tally for the vote.

Earlier today, the Obama White House released a 3-paragraph statement on the legislation, noting that Obamacare “helps millions of Americans stay on their parents’ plans until age 26”—which, of course, has nothing to do with the individual mandate or the fine/“tax” for violating it—and saying that if President Obama were presented with the legislation, “he would veto it.”

Given the wide margin by which the legislation passed the House, along with the significant level of bipartisan support with which it passed, perhaps the Senate will actually take a vote, pass the bill, and give Obama that chance.  That would provide a welcome reminder to the American people of the extent to which Obama’s centerpiece legislation relies upon coercion.

Obama and reid will fight it kicking and screaming.

Wow - Big surprise that the House of Representative who already voted to repeal the ACA something like 45 times would now vote to repeal the mandate

Given that this very issue went all the way to the Supreme Court and was deemed constitutional and is key to to legislation it makes perfect sense that he would veto it.

Interesting to see Democrats jumping ship.  I want to see how they campaign during the 2014 elections.

They may have voted to repeal it 45 times, but obama has since delayed or 'amended' it 45 times

Seems obamas actions show they had a point
