Health Care Reform is finally getting a vote!, Dems will pass it, what will Republicans do?

Last time I read the constitution it was pretty specific in saying to pass a bill the majority of elected officials need to vote yes for it. Since it has passed both Houses already and is now up for the final up and down vote, what are Republicans to do. They fought hard against this bill and against the millions of people this would cover. They even tried to persuade some with their own Bill that was pretty pathetic and would only cover 3 million and. Now that we are bringing this journey to a close...what will Republicans say or do next? When it passes and all those things they said would happen were found to be untrue....I wonder how the elections will go?

    They'll just bide their time until November, when they and the rest of the Republican majority begin to take this dreck apart piece by piece.

    And by the way, there are only about 3 million of us who actually can't afford health care insurance. The 12 million or so illegals have no business being here in the first place and already get free care anyhow. And NOBODY is going to get any of the "benefits" of Obamacare for four years anyhow - although we'll start paying for it right away. Imagine that - higher taxes and still no health care insurance! See, that's why there will be that Republican majority after the next election. Sorry about that.

    Sorry that's becoming to be a debate communicate board. i in my view could % to recognize that if the democratics pass back to fifty one votes (heck 50 votes! and enable Biden forged the tie breaker) if we are able to bypass healthcare. when you consider that I as a liberal % finished public thoughts. I don no longer care if the coverage companies can not compete, I basically % to purchase a tremendously good plan regardless from whom. each invoice the Democrats bypass with 60 votes infuriate the democratic base - they are too vulnerable and valueless "better than no longer something" fees and Republicans will whine regardless. If shall we pass back in time (4 months in the past?) as quickly as we had a large invoice with fifty one votes.. enable the fillabustering start up.. we would already have a solid healthcare plan? ok, so here is the question returned: can we bypass healthcare with fifty one votes? if so, how long will filabustering proceed? (no count if that's under the 22 months of dialogue then shall we've it accomplished in time for the bll to start!)

    After you have awakened from your fantasy world, if indeed this pile of garbage is passed, this will effectively cement the inevitable demise of the Democrats for many many years to come.

    Now go ahead and block me like you always do with people you disagree with. It will only further prove your inability to discuss issues or hold an intelligent debate.

    I'm scared to think they'll continue to give Obama a hard time for as long as he's in office.

    But I'm not worried about the elections this year. Democrats will retain their majority in Congress.

    "millions of people this would cover" Actually according to Obamas own estimate it will only benefit 4% of the population at it's PEAK. So trillions of dollars to help a few ex-con pedophiles and illegal immigrants. Wow, what a great idea in a jobless recession with inflation on the rise and value of the dollar plummeting.

    Well, if this legislation passes and like anybody with any sense can see, it fails miserably and costs the country billions. Well I imagine Republicans will sit back, say I told you so and kick that idiot barry out of office and pave the way for democrats to not have any sort of power again for decades.
