For the first time today, the Congress will send President Obama a bill that repeals a part of the controversial health reform law from last year.

This deals with the provision that tightens income reporting requirements for businesses, what's known as the 1099 tax reporting issue, which small businesses say would have been a paperwork nightmare for them.

The plan requires all businesses to file a 1099 tax form with companies when they buy or sell $600 in services each year. It was placed in the health law as a way to force companies to more accurately report their income, and therefore pay more in taxes.

But the plan has drawn fire from both parties, as the House and Senate have repeatedly voted to get rid of it - but never in the same form.

One stumbling block has been how to replace the revenue lost by this repeal. The White House opposes this plan, which would force people to pay back the feds if they wrongly receive health insurance subsidies under the Obama health law.

But the Obama Administration stopped short of issuing a specific veto threat.

Obviously, this repeal bill is just one small part of the overall Obama health law, and a rarity where both parties agree change is needed.

As for Republican efforts to cut money for the health law, that remains stalled in the overall budget debate in the Congress, as Democrats have ruled out such plans.

GOP leaders seem likely to try again in the summer and fall in debate on next year's budget, but with Democrats controlling the Senate and the White House, major changes still seem unlikely.

That hasn't dissuaded Republicans from holding multiple hearings on health reform, and looking into every dollar that the new law is handing out.

For example, the House Energy & Commerce Committee has four bills on the schedule today for votes, which would block funding for a series of initiatives in the health law.

Those are expected to be approved by the House, but likely will go nowhere in the Senate.
