Five Democrats joined Republicans in a 244-185 vote to approve a bill to strike down the healthcare law.
According to the report, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) said the vote gives his colleagues in the Senate “another chance to heed the will of the American people” and take up a vote.
But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has vowed to block any vote in the Senate to strike down the PPACA, according to the report.
The House has voted more than 30 times to repeal part or all of the 2010 healthcare law.
