The major reorganizational aspects (e.g., the Health Insurance Exchange) won’t be implemented until 2013 and won’t be fully in place until 2015.
So I think we have two shots: 2010 and 2012.
But once 2013 happens, it’s over.
Those may not go into effect until then, but even if a congressional repeal was attempted, the socialist mafia would tie any attempt to remove the law from the book up in court.
I would look for several states to pass and enact binding 10th amendment sovereignty resolutions. Subsequently, they will refuse to enforce the provisions of the Act, become the most populous states in the union in short order, and the showdown between federal govt and states will ensue when the states refuse to collect and remit the tax revenues the cancerous beast demands.
Make the 2010 and 12 elections a referendum on Obama care and the Republicans can roll back into power. Course if Republican votes pass it then that ruins that. I expect the Republicans will ruin that.
This sort of law, no matter how overwhelming the opposition might be, once it is passed will never be repealed by the Republicans even if they sweep the congressional and presidential elections. Anything the right gets can and will be swept away with the next left majority. The right, being conservative, will not change Tradition, even if that tradition is only 48 hours old. Conservatives, once elected, become Republicans, or more appropriately, Tories, conservative but only of their own prerogatives. It is almost a law of politics for the Right- we work hard and elect our guys and they aren’t our guys anymore.

I beleive that there is a supreme court decision about one congress not being subject to another congress’s mistakes.
