These two provisions are already enacted are the cost falls on the end-user, not the government. I hope they create a provision that places these people in a unique pool and that, if I purchase private care, I can opt out of it and keep my costs lower. I hope they enact tort reform and I want to see them enable state-to-state portability and HSA flexibility too. If there is a plan in NC that pays better and doesn’t offer coverage to 26yo slackers and sex changes, I should be able to buy that.

The largest part of Obamacare, the mandate is what people most closely associate with, will be overturned no doubt but there will be parts of the legislation that will stay in place because they have already been enacted. That bell has already been rung and all the bitching, moaning and name calling won’t change that fact.

Yeah that's the ticket, been hearing that ever since the promise of a push back by Republicans concerning the Great Society programs. “Too big to fail or too big of a program that overturning the legislation is politically impossible.” When you win you lose with Republicans. The jig is up as debt and liabilities are becoming hard to control; we do not need political wimps at the head, while the fire breathers are well under control by the top pragmatics and K street pimps.

I remember Newt (the candidate I supported in the primary) making mention of the health care bill, saying that “about 300 pages were actually pretty good”.

We need to be objective here.
