Conyers: Health reform will not be repealed ANN ARBOR, MI (Michigan Radio) - Congressman John Conyers of Michigan says there's no way health care reform will be repealed by the new Congress.

Conyers says the term "Obamacare" should be seen as a compliment. He sees the Affordable Care Act passed last year as one of the most important improvements to delivering health care to Americans.

Conyers vows it's not going anywhere.

"Almost everybody knows that this (the repeal effort) is not going to succeed -- that this is a symbolic act," Conyers says. "There is no way that the Senate would ever let this happen."

Conyers says the issue has been in 14 courts, and all but two have said the health care law is constitutional.

He also says more people are finding something in the bill that will help them.
