Obamacare will not be repealed. Big business (Wall Street and multinational corporations plus private equity firms) want to eliminate the cost of employee medical care much like they eliminated defined benefit pension plans in the 1990’s. The savings are huge to eliminate company paid medical insurance, even if a company pays the $2000 per employee penalty for not having a medical plan. Romney knows this and Newt knows this.

The fix is already in. Boehner and his Republican majority have not even attempted to defund Obamacare through the appropriations process despite having public support for repeal. Any attempt at repeal if the Republicans win the Senate in 2012 will be filibustered to death by the Dems. Plus if Obama wins the election he will certainly veto any repeal legislation. Finally, Mitch McConnell is an establishment tool. As long as he leads Republicans in the Senate he will collaborate behind the scenes with Reid to kill repeal in the Senate.

Sorry, no matter what Newt and Romney say, the big buck doners want Obamacare and will get it. The elites know what is good for us and will make sure we have it no matter what we say. The bailout of Wall Street in 2008 demonstrated that political power in this nation no longer resides with te people.
