by Stephanie Samuel, Christian Post Reporter

The Republican-controlled House voted overwhelming to pass a repeal health care legislation proposed by President Barack Obama.

The repeal passed the U.S. House of Representative by a vote of 245-189 to reverse the president's prized health care reform signed into law last March.

The repeal shows House GOP members are anxious to act on its legislative agenda to reverse ObamaCare and stop abortion funding among other items.

An Associated Press-GFK GFK released earlier this week found that, while opposition for the 2010 health care reform has remained high, support has dropped to a slim majority. According to the poll, 41 percent of 1,001 respondents support the GOPs health care repeal compared to the 47 percent who supported repeal after the 2010 November congressional elections.

Despite the recent polling, republicans say they have strong constituent support for the Health care repeal. In a Tuesday statement, the American Center for Law and Justice announced that it has heard from more than 70,000 Americans urging Congress to repeal Obamas health care bill. These Americans signed a petition to fact, stating the health care reform is pro-abortion and product of big government.

The constitutional law firm also reminds that the constitutionality of 2010 reform is currently under question. There are challenges in several states, filed by several entities including the ACLJ.
