Will the GOP Promise to Repeal ‘ObamaCare’ if Returned to Power?

Republicans have no good agenda, that’s why Barassco keeps dodging the question. Why can’t people see that this is a scandolous party that would rather see America fail then do what’s right for our citizens?

Personally I would say that, aside from small adjustments in the future, there is little to no chance of the GOP repealing it.
Through out history governments have been unwilling to limit their own authority or return powers back to their people, in most cases. I don’t think this will be any different.

the failing GOP has a snowball’s chance in hell of both “regaining power”, or of addressing any social good–including health coverage for all citizens.
The failing GOP consists of cynical old white men, uneducated tea-baggers, and fundamentalists.
I’m waiting for the day when ‘The Note’
admits that this is a very marginal sector of our country. I guess that’s another snowball’s chance in hell.

Yesterday, I was talking to a self employed friend who pays $1,100.00 a month for catastrophic coverage for himself and his family. That’s over $12,000 a year in premiums alone, never mind what he has to pay until he hits his very high deductible.
If this bill lowers the healthcare costs of average Americans, it will be a success. If it doesn’t help, then the Republicans will have a shot at repealing it.

Yay socialism !

This bill doesn’t contain a public option or even a Medicare buy-in, and you’re still bleating about socialism?

the first problem with the question is the idea that the republican party will regain power before the legislation is firmly ingrained in american’s expectations. (can you imagine trying to repeal medicare?) no reason to go into any of the other problems with that idea…

Once something is law it is difficult to get rid of.If you look at social security and medicare, 2 programs that are unfunded, some say, to the tune of 100 trillion it is easy to assume that we as americans want everything either free or cheap and as long as someone pays we aren’t that concerned about it….until everything crashes down about us.
Our family had a member whose recent bill was over 100,000 for a major hospital stay, sure we pay dearly by the month for it but it has been worth every penny. We know what it worth because we have “skin in the game” but these days everyone wants everything but they want no pain in getting it.
Not to mention that his healthcare deal will not provide fruit for those in need for years to come and that our dear representatives will not be part of it.

Forcing private business like insurance companies to conduct themselves in a way that will put them out of business is clearly illegal and unConstitutional.

They won’t have to repeal it, it can’t get signed into law.
This bill is unConstitutional.
Lock and Load!

As long as we continue to paint each other as if we are enemies we will achieve nothing.

If this passes, I believe it is unconstitutional and will head all the way to the supreme court where I hope it will die! All you lefties watch out because next year you will see the voting out of many democrats. Mark my words and see!

Or Medicare for that matter.

I don’t have blind devotion to Obama, in fact I didn’t vote for him.
Apparently it is hard to understand, since you now think the Nazis were socialists. Yes, they had a centrally planned economy, because they had a war economy the entire time they were in power. During WW2 the US had a centrally planned war economy too, were we socialists then? Or fascists? Fascist socialists?
“Our adopted term ‘Socialist’ has nothing to do with Marxian Socialism. Marxism is anti-property; true Socialism is not.” – Adolf Hitler.

Cassandra – Where in the Constitution does it say that you have the right to the same health care/insurance that Congressmen do/
Where in the Constitution is the Legislative branch given the power to provide/fund health care/insurance (Hint Article 1 Section 8 lists the powers granted to Congress)?

Read this in the Bill:
Section 10320 [pp. 180-190] — Cteation of “Independent Payment Advisory Board” which givs sweeping powers to cut Medicare reimbursements.
It can limit/prohibit the ability of private citizens to spend their own money to protect their own lives, by obtaining health care, or health insurance, that is NOT RATIONED. These
actions will take place on a time table, determined by the amount of money saved in the 500 billion draw down in Medicare, to pay for this current plan.
Seniors have been targeted, and measured by their quality of life, and remaining life span.
Of course congress is exempt, and I think provisions for labor unions.
This provision was sneeked in last week, during the nebraska sell out deal.
How can it be constitutional for people not being allowed to use their own money for medical services?
Remember the socialist administration has litle to no use for the constitution and views it as out dated

Then if it’s “uncontitutional” to mandate insurance, then a whole lot of lawmakers would already be before the Supreme Court…. The state of Mass. and each state who has mandatory car insurance.
Stop “gasping” for straws. America can finally spend Americans money on Americans. Healthcare is a right, and not only for those wealthy enough to carry it. Now that’s “unconstitution” you jerks.

It’s not mandatory to own a car. So the argument of having to have auto insurance is a red herring. It is constitutional to have ‘Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’. Yet it is legal to abort those that are an inconvenience. Soon it will be legal to abort the lives of those already born that are inconvenient. To have the government mandate a definition of our liberties is not constitutional since those writing the definition are politically and monetarily motivated. What seriously needs to called out are the votes purchased through sweetheart deals or intimidation through threats of loosing something. All Americans are not to be deprived of medical assistance anymore than they should be deprived access to public restrooms. This bill does not protect our rights. It sets up mandatory requirements to pay protection money to receive care. Sounds like what gangs do to extort the community. This is not the bill that Americans need.

I don’t want an unAmerican, separatist, give to the rich-tax the poor, bigoted, ignorant, small-minded quitter in the white house. some people here are wonderful prophets of what will happen should this become law of the land – where were they when Bush et Cie were spending us into the dirt? what hypocrites and liars. and yes, I mean Palin.

This article starts out with the outrageous percetion that Republicans will re-take the Government. Let’s hope that NEVER happens again, it’s obvious they know NOTHING about economics (hence trillions for Iraq and nothing to infrastructure), nothing about health-care (Bush’s reform that has left giant sized “doughnuts”, and unlimited prescription drug profits), nor Global Warming (the outlandish concept that scientists are lying to economically cripple the World.

Well, when you all start paying the funding with absolutely no benefits what so ever for four years minimum, then let’s see how well you like Odumba-care.
On the good side the libby Socialist progressives sealed their fate in November ’10 this morning, as well as sealing the fate of the Crackhead in Chief in 2012. So I suppose there is a bright side to everything.

I hear all that. I’m 71 and on Medicare. They want to take 500B away from Medicare and leave the fraud, abuse, and waste. Tell me, my wife and my friends that this will not impact the quality or availability of our medical care. For those of you who worship Obama, have you ever heard of Jim Jones? Stand back, forget political parties, they are all bad, but dig through the smoke and mirrors, use your head.

Republicans, repudiate. Your next health emergency, don’t call 911.

Socialism is when the economy is centrally planned by the government.

Excellent point.

” No one likes this guy in the White House, ok?”
WRONG… plenty like him and would much rather have him there than Palin as McCain would of croaked from the disaster at this point.
Reagans disapproval rating was 54% in 1983… first years for presidents arent good for their approval numbers.

Concerned about debt my hooey. They’re busy porking up stuff just as much as the left. They’re only concerned when it makes a good sound bite when they’re not in power. If they are in power they drive it up to the hilt themselves, when there’s no reason I might add. ALL of congress is a joke and about the same.

The states require liability auto insurance to cover the damage you may do to SOMEONE ELSE or THEIR property.
You are not required to insurance against damage to yourself or your own property.
Also, it’s a state mandate, not a federal one.
The difference is important because the states have the regulatory authority over insurance.
We don’t want the federal government taking over the power of the states.
Separation of powers is an important cornerstone of American freedom.
The fact that it’s so little understood is one of the dangers that Democrats exploit to empower themselves politically.
