53rd ATTEMPT TO REPEAL THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT OCCURS TODAY

The title of this post says it all. 
Well, almost all. The 53rd attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act is occurring under the 75th closed rule in the house since John Boehner became Speaker of the House.
For those of you that don't know the impact of a closed rule, it basically means that the debate must be on the bill as written without allowing any amendments or debate on the substance of any desired amendments. 
So much for Speaker Boehners promise for a more open House process. What a farce our congress has become. 
No wonder the congress currently has an approval rating of 14%.
