House Republicans scored another victory on the road to repealing Obamacare today when the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 17-5 to send the Medicare Decisions Accountability Act of 2011 to the House floor.

The bipartisan bill, it has 17 Democratic co-sponsors, would eliminate the Independent Payment Advisory Board from Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Under Obama’s scheme, the 15 member IPAB would have had the unprecedented power to cut $575 billion from Medicare over 10 years through rationing and price controls.
