Tar Heel incumbent Richard Burr admitted recently that "total repeal" is implausible, and Indiana Republican contender John Hostettler has framed the law in similar terms. Ohio's Rob Portman, who "prayed" that Obamacare would not pass, has yet to sign the Club for Growth's popular "repeal it" pledge. (And the GOP nominee in Illinois, Mark Kirk, now says that rather than fight reform, his job is to explain how it will affect voters.)

It is implausible that we elect any GOP politician who won’t sign on to repeal the health care law.

We don’t want it explained. We want it repealed or not funded. Simple as that.

“Repeal” and “just oppose” don’t have to be a contradiction. First steps, starting in about 2011: defund, and pass the one page bill—cleverly submitted by Ron Paul—to remove the personal mandate. Just getting rid of the mandate—the worst thing about obamacare and romneycare—is a huge step in the right direction.

To Republican Members of Congress:

Only status quo ante will do*. I did not say "please"; this is a Command. Disobey at your professional peril.

*As far as "repeal" goes. Once that is done and "Obamacare" is buried under fifty feet of concrete with a stake through its heart, we can talk about tort reform, malpractice reform, insurance across state lines etc.
