WASHINGTON  In a rare move, House Republicans pulled their own health 
care bill from the floor Wednesday after failing to secure enough votes 
to ensure its passage.The bill offered a lifeline to a main feature 
of President Obamas health care overhaul - affordable coverage for people 
with pre-existing medical conditions -- after it ran into strong opposition 
from both conservatives and Democrats.The legislation is a departure from 
past GOP efforts to kill the Affordable Health Care Act outright, and 
faced a White House veto threat.Democrats are against it because it would 
bail out the struggling program to help those with pre-existing conditions 
get insurance by raiding a disease prevention provision the administration 
says is essential.Conservative groups also urged Republicans to vote against 
it, saying it perpetuated the federal role in health care. Some said 
they felt the bill embraced Obamacare.The measure was a pet project of 
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia whose office pledged to keep 
working on the bill.We had positive conversations today and made good progress, 
Cantor spokesman Doug Heye told Fox News later in the day. We 
remain focused on stopping the biggest entitlement expansion in a generation.House 
Majority Whip Kevin McCarthys office said they had made a lot of 
solid progress.There's still work to do and with Members leaving town for 
the Bush Library dedication in Texas, we'll continue the conversations after

Chaffetz said Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security is using 
roughly 1,000 rounds of ammunition more per person than the U.S. Army, 
as he and other lawmakers sharply questioned DHS officials on their "massive" 
bullet buys."It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland 
Security needs so much ammunition," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said at a hearing.The 
hearing itself was unusual, as questions about the department's ammunition 
purchases until recently had bubbled largely under the radar -- on blogs 
and in the occasional news article. But as the Department of Homeland 
Security found itself publicly defending the purchases, lawmakers gradually 
showed more interest in the issue.Democratic Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass., 
at the opening of the hearing, ridiculed the concerns as "conspiracy theories" 
which have "no place" in the committee room.But Republicans said the purchases 
raise "serious" questions about waste and accountability.Chaffetz, who chairs 
one of the House oversight subcommittees holding the hearing Thursday, revealed 
that the department currently has more than 260 million rounds in stock. 
He said the department bought more than 103 million rounds in 2012 
and used 116 million that same year -- among roughly 70,000 agents.Comparing 
that with the small-arms purchases procured by the U.S. Army, he said 
the DHS is churning through between 1,300
