Remember, Obama is still at the helm. He will veto anything they try about the ACA. He’s already said so.

Not sure your point.

The idea is to make Obama veto the repeal.

And pigs could fly and he may not veto it.

So let him. You think he'll relish having to do that? Tuesday's election was a referendum on ObamaCare (IMO). Let him veto, so that the American people can finally see who's really effing up their health care!

Good.

Shut down the government.

That’s his only card. Make him play it NOW.

Doesn't hurt to get it on the record, though.

Anyway, it sounds to me like the "individual mandate" is the heart of Obamacare.

ObamaCare imposes a new requirement on all U.S. citizens and legal residents to obtain government-approved health insurance...

Beginning in 2014, the federal government will impose new fines on citizens and legal residents who do not obtain government-approved insurance. Those without insurance will pay a tax that is the greater of a flat fee, or a percentage of family income. The flat fee will be phased in over several years. In 2014, the penalty will be $95 per adult in an uninsured household, increasing to $325 in 2015, then to $695 in 2016, after which it will increase annually in line with consumer inflation. For uninsured children, the fine will be half the amount applied to uninsured adults. If greater, households pay 1 percent of their income in 2014, 2 percent in 2015, and 2.5 percent in 2016 and thereafter in lieu of the flat per person fee.

I still want full repeal. And I still don't trust Mitch.

let him veto till his pen runs out of ink...

Clinton vetoed welfare reform twice and only signed the third one because he was worried another veto would sink him on a very popular bill in 1996.

After he signed it he spent the entire 1996 convention telling the far left “don’t worry, I’ll fix it” but it was too late. GOP governors ran with it.

Now, of course, Obama has done everything he can (under a ‘crises’ of course) to reverse those reforms.
