Republicans are calling up the debate following the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the PPACA. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) formerly introduced The Repeal of Obamacare Act on Monday. A final vote on passage of the bill is expected Wednesday, according to the report.

Meanwhile, the White House issued a statement saying President Obama would veto the bill if it gets to his desk, which is unlikely to happen given the Democratic-controlled Senate.
