    If true health care reform passes, and is funded properly...

    Republicans will not regain power. But if they did regain power for some other reason, they could not undo reform and take us back to pay or die health care because the people would rebel. It would be call the health care rebellion. It would be like trying to take away medicare from seniors now or doing away with social security.

    The reason republicans are so vehemently against reform that makes the lives of americans easier as far as health care goes is they know that once the people get a sniff of a just and moral system they will not want to give it up. To see what I mean, just go to canada, france, great britain, germany, australia, Sweden, Belgium etc.. and put a referendum on their ballots and ask them if they want to do away with universal health care and have a system similar to the current american system and see what happens. I would guess that those measures would lose overwhelmingly and that on average 85% of the people in those countries would say no to having an american style health care system and that they like what they have just fine.

    Once you add an entitlement it is extremely difficult to get rid of it even if it proves to be a colossal failure. We are in the situation we are, in major part to the dependent culture we have created in the last 50 years. Virtually every program started by government has cost 100 times the projected costs at the time it was passed. On top of that most entitlements are run to the point of being bankrupt. Nothing government gives you is free. It always comes with a price tag many times more than you could get for yourself. Is college cheaper now with all the grants and loans you can get or more outrageously expensive than ever? My uncle paid his way through Cornell U.by waiting tables at a fraternity twice a day. Which sounds doable and which overwhelming? Are homes cheaper now that the government has FHA loans for the poor or have home prices increased 5x to compensate? Wake up, everything the government touches turns well intentioned programs into a worse situation for the average guy. Does government ever downsize to make life better for us all or is their solution to overwhelming failure throwing more money at a problem with the hope some of it might do some good some where for someone. After all it isn't their money and spending other peoples money is a lot easier than getting value and more bang for your buck.

    Currant versions of health care reform are HMO gift from heaven R will not directly revoke it. After baby boomer heighten use is over they will lower safeguard and cut reimbursement to point where quality goes so low voters call for it's repeal. Hoping by than how Canada and Japan dealt with those political fluctuations is learned as Japan Canada model of payment for health care is improved yearly as holocaust of 19th century health care get remembered.

    Yeah, Clinton was a democrat and he kept a lot of things made by Republicans the same.

    I doubt it, it would be the biggest waste of three trillion dollars ever

    It is a waste of time it will end up in court. The Government has no right to tell Americans what to buy

    The problem would be finding the votes to revoke; Democrats would simply filibuster.

    It depends on how soon the Republicans get control back. The longer the Democrats can hold onto power the less likely it can be undo.

    The republicans won't revoke it if its popular, in fact they'll probably start saying how they can improve the system.

    if a thing is done for the right reason, at the right time, I feel it's more than just.

    "Universal Health care" is actually universal regression therapy. With emphasis on regression.
