#1 Let us suppose that the vote squeaks by and the Obamanation passes and is signed into law.

Let us further suppose that 2010 becomes an absolute bloodbath for House Democrats.

Is there any possibility of scuttling this thing before it would take effect in 2013? (E.g. Refusing to fund it.) It seems outright repeal would take until a new President (God willing) in 2013.

Nope it'll be Pubs killed free healthcare.

#5 eLarson, I think Gloria has it.

But to answer the questions specifically, the Pubs would need --

1) control of the House. Maybe after 2010, not sure.

2) 60 votes in the Senate. Not happening.

3) a president who would sign the reversal. Not happening.

Well, what about 2012? If the country were really angry, two election cycles might get the Pubs a president and near-control of the Senate. That means they could kill it early in 2013, just after it started, as long as they're aware of what Gloria noted.
