A couple of points. First, McConnell (who is hardly William Wallace) WAS in front of a bunch of old people when he said it would be hard to repeal Obamacare---I think (hope) to somewhat placate those elderly who thought their medical care would end. Not my approach---I'm confrontational, but it is somewhat understandable he would say one thing when he means something slightly different.

Second, no one knows the size of Romney's cajones or his toughness when it comes to legislation that he PERSONALLY approves of, but which he knows the large majority of Americans do not approve of. So, with that caveat, let me ask this question:

If every part of the existing health care bill that involves action begins with "the Secretary of HHS shall determine/shall decide" . . . then it would seem to me that simply eliminating that agency and insisting Congress create a new one with ENUMERATED POWERS that would exclude health care decisions would be one way to approach this. For example, it could be re-merged as HEW, thereby diminishing Education and HHS at the same time. (I know, damn near impossible for someone like a Ron Paul or Allen West who has genuine principles, but I'm just throwing out different ways to undo this thing.)

Seems to me all we have to do is get “our guy” in as Secretary of HHS, and that one person can undo almost the entire debacle. Am I wrong?

The size of Romney’s cajones? On this issue? How about a couple of grains of sand.
