(Bloomberg) — The U.S. House will take up legislation that would roll back part of the 2010 health-care law and limit federal regulations for energy companies, Majority Leader Eric Cantor said in a memo.

The agenda was sent to lawmakers last week as Republicans seek to move from a debate over raising the U.S. debt limit and refocus the House agenda toward curtailing Obamacare and other Democratic measures they say restrict economic activity. The House returns to Washington Feb. 25 after a week off.

"Our plan is to reduce the middle-class squeeze; create an environment for economic growth and job creation; reform our health-care system to one of patient-centered care and lowers costs; and ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to get ahead by accessing a quality education," Cantor wrote in the memo.
