Is the Republican threat to run on overturning the health bill as a platform...?

most big bills like the health care plan arent overturned. thats the danger with the bill. but you say "when" its passed, do you even know what reconciliation is? theres not a very good chance of it passing.

Do you know that 80% of Americans don't want this health care bill? Do you really think the people will be upset if it was overturned? By the way, the President can veto a bill overturning it but the veto can be overridden by a 2/3 vote in each the House and Senate.

Those Democrats remaining in Congress after the November elections will have a very clear message of how upset the people are about the health care bill and will be willing to override a veto to save their seats in the 2012 election.

With what Obama has done in the past year and if ObamaCare passes he is guaranteed to be a one term president. No one in Congress will be willing to sacrifice their political career in an attempt to save ObamaCare since it will be overturned in 2013 with a Republican President.

Also, as soon as ObamaCare is passed the law will be challenged in the Courts.

I'm going to focus on your last question: "Do you think that when the health bill is passed it will really be impossible to drop it in the future?" and I'm going to do it by reminding you of the Social Security system... the SS system has been broken for decades and will be bankrupt in about 20 years, long before our generation is likely to retire, meaning that we will not likely receive all (if any) of the benefits that we paid into the system... we have know that this system has been in trouble for at least the past decade and yet, with the deadline fast approaching, no one in Washington is even talking about it... Now say Washington does pass a healthcare bill and say that, as your question seems to suggest, it ends up not benefitting the country at some point in the future (even if it is beneficial at the onset as SS was), do you think "dropping" the health bill will be any easier than fixing Social Security?

harry reid was trying to put some things in there that could never be overturned. , with that being said i don't think health care is going to pass. there are a lot of democrats that do not want this bill, and they will be the ones deciding this bill. don't forget they had to even bribe some of them just to pass the senate bill.

Ummmm easily #3 isn't actual....the government can deny any declare it needs to. #4 isn't actual the two.....the IRS would be looking over each coverage and each does have optimal spending limits. #5...tutor me interior the regulation the place it dictates the fee of scientific care because of the fact I ignored that area. #6 is going against my civil liberties....#7 isn't actual as employers would be pigeon-holed in direction of one style of coverage. #8...ummm how is having much less administration over YOUR money is a robust element? #9 is financial discrimination and basically incorrect abusing the coronary heart of democracy and starting to be French Revolution mob rule....#10 That doughnut hollow which you communicate approximately is what helps agencies to mantain retirees on their insurances. You mess with that, the agencies can drop the retirees (which isn't mandated decrease than this regulation to insure retirees) and medicare gets extra human beings on it...the comparable equipment it extremely is working interior the crimson and getting decrease to fund this new challenge. clever circulate!

Health care, if the government has it the way it is laid out currently, will not start to cover anyone for four years. But you'll get taxed for it four years ahead of time to raise starting revenues. So... they wouldn't have much time and people would be pissed they were forced to pay for nothing.

It is more then a threat,,,,,obamacare is bad legislation that is why obama is forced to use so many underhanded tricks to deceive the voters.

The harder obama pushes his healthcare bill the more democrats seats will be lost in November and in 2012.

Look even if obamacare did pass it does not take effect until 2014, plenty of time for the Republicans to repeal it.

The obamacare taxes will start immediately but the benefits will not start for 4 years, that is how obama is saying the plan will not add to the deficit, just another lie.

I would love to see republicans run on "taking health care away from Americans" it will make the elections a walk in the park for Dems.

It's certainly an idle threat... once gullible Americans realized that it wasn't the boogeyman that Rush told them it was, and they actually liked not dying and not having their elderly parents die due to a lack of health insurance, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be politically advantageous to remove it... just like Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare etc. now

yes, once its in place it will stay here forever, at least a hundred or so years till its removed most likely from a revolution type scenario. all that jimmy carter stuffs still around, amtraks still around. once its made things don't go away, there going to have so many goverment workers to lay off and the unions that there going to be in, etc..etc... get the picture?
