However, his win is a MAJOR victory and killing Obamacare is worth any possible trouble he will give us in the future.

What happened to the MAJOR victory in killing Obamacare?

You are kidding me, right? Replying to a January post??
You’re a tenacious SOB.

But to respond to your snarky comment:

The Senate passed a bill BEFORE Scott Brown got into office. BECAUSE Scott Brown was in office, the House did not have the luxury of voting on a whole new bill.

So the House had to pass the Senate bill AND a second bill with their fixes to the Senate bill. The “fixes” bill STILL has to go through the Senate. Scott Brown’s presence in the Senate will force the democrats to use the nuclear option. But the nuclear option has many restrictions and limits what the democrats can get passed AND it will kill what’s left of their support from independents.

Scott Brown IS preventing a lot of bad crap, including the public option. He may also prevent Obama from taking over the college loan program, depending how the democrats choose to push this bill through the Senate.
