#1 Wishful thinking. 0-Care was designed to fail. The problem, if you can call it that, is that it has been too successful. Dems won't quit while they are ahead, and they won't cry over losing a few elections in the short terms when 0-Care means a Left majority for the next hundred years.

#3 If there is a vote it will be to provide cover for vulnerable Dems. It will fail by a couple of votes -- the entire show having planned out in advance.

#4 The problem is that even repealing the law won't really help. If the law were repealed today, things would not immediately go back to the sraus quo ante. Insurance companies have written policies, and updated their systems to comply with the law. Rules and regulations have been promulgated. These things cannot be turned off like a light switch.

Of course, Obama would veto any resolution to repeal. He has too much ego invested to allow it to go away.

#5 They have to kill it in order to save it.
