Do the traditionally, cowardly Republican Senators have the guts to actually repeal Obamacare?
I know they're running on the issue, but when push comes to shove, will they have the guts to do the right thing, or will they bow to the political pressure of the mainstream media, like Justice Roberts did?
I'm assuming the following...
Romney wins, Republicans take over Senate and maintain the House.
Will they still have the guts to repeal it, even though they only need 51 votes, and "can" repeal it.
Will they back down and bow to the media, and somehow save it, or part of it.
It needs to be scrapped, completely...Then start over. It's a terrible law
Librarya, that's that I'm afraid of...but all these "benefits" haven't kicked in yet, just the so called "good" ones. The pain will start in 2014; conveniently enough.
I agree, that there will be an all out media blitz, to demonize Republicans. They have to stand strong, and do the right thing....but will they?
They "DON'T" need 60 votes, as this was ruled a tax. They only need 51, using reconciliation. They need to do it immediately, in January, and they should
It's just a very sad precedent, that Roberts set, on 2 counts....That the court can be intimidated, and That you can use the taxing power to financially punish anyone who doesn't do what the government says

If and when Obama leaves office in January and if the Republicans can gain a majority in both houses, then it will be repealed.
We need tort reform and some measure to assure that those with pre-existing conditions get a break. I am certain that it won't take a genius or our liberty to find the proper solution to this fiasco.
Romney 2012!

I think they will have a real problem with it. If they repeal it, the people already benefiting from it will become very vocal. What will they do about the savings grandma has had on her prescriptions. The babies who are born with medical conditions that won't be covered because it's pre-existing. Or the dad with cancer who has maxed his benefits and can't get other insurance because it's pre-existing. Or the college student who has an accident but won't be able to get treatment because they are no longer covered under their parent's insurance.
It would be a PR nightmare.
Edit: I'm so sick of tort reform claims. Another misinformed con lie. It has nothing to do with whether or not people are insured and it has nothing to do with prices. They did torn reform in California, The most you can get is 250,000, even if you are in massive pain for 70 years. It made zero difference in anything because the insurance companies still gouged the doctors on malpractice. If the medical profession screened itself, like the legal profession does, they wouldn't have such a problem.
