(CBS News) The Supreme Court gave some validation to the Affordable Care Act on Thursday when it declared the law constitutional, but House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is ready to move forward with yet another House vote to repeal the controversial bill.
"We know that most of the American people don't like this law," Cantor said on CBS' This Morning Friday. The House, he said will "look towards the kind of health care people want," which he said is "patient-centered."
Cantor said that the Republican-led House will take up a repeal vote July 11th, after Congress comes back from its July 4th recess. The House first voted to repeal the bill in January 2011, soon after Republicans took control. The move, however, was essentially symbolic.
The Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell also said Thursday that Congress should repeal the law, but Democrats have control of the Senate.
Democrats, for their part, have told Republicans to move on. "Our Supreme Court has spoken. The matter is settled," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the Senate floor Thursday. "It's time for Republicans to stop fighting yesterday's battles."
