In reality though, the chances of killing it via tax reform are no better than killing it by repeal. Without the Senate and the Presidency, it won’t happen. That’s the short term. Long term, after the dust has settled, it can be worked into a bill of some sort, but we all know that, like Social Security, this will never go away once it become entrenched. Even Republicans will stop harping on it once everyone accepts it and moves on. So what little good news there is, dies with a loss in November.
I agree with your sober assessment. Romney now making his statement promising to kill ObamaCare. Not bad, but really needs emotion and a plan that includes pushing for an package that addresses president and congress. There is a lot of work to do!
