[...] The best chance for repealing it is that there is no best chance–it would be better to not pass it at all (obviously). As Mark Steyn has said (Rushlimbaugh.com), once passed, we’ll never be done with it–all socialized health care countries, once experiencing its passage are constantly trying to change it to fix its maladies. Outside of that, the best opportunity to rid ourselves of the monstrous yoke about our neck is to challenge it in court. [...]

I hope that you had a Merry Christmas also and there is no need to apologize for rambling. You made some great points and I hope that you are right about next November, I don’t know if Republicans can win back both houses, but I think they will pick up enough seats to slow down this administration. Like you I am a libertarian at heart.

Look, in my humble opinion, what is referred to now as ‘mainstream’ America, will vote in mass come 2 Nov 2010. While it is inconceivable to this American that the Republican party will be able to close the current margin ‘by more’ than thirty seats, it will most certainly ‘swing’ the current control the Democrats have in the House and provide a more bipartisan approach to some very key issues coming our way, such as Amnesty to Illegal Immigrants and their Anchor Baby’s (or Jackpot if you wish) which ties directly into this ‘bogus’ number of uninsured. Contrary to what Obama and his counterparts rhetoric on this issue, Anchor Baby’s are “not” US Citizens having been born here as, to say so, violates the 14th Amendment! They would have to ‘cahnge’ the Amendment.

The Senate has thrity-six seats up for grab in 2010 and IMO, the Democrats will not have the majority when the votes are all counted. BTW, I am a Libertarian but a registered Republican.

With that said, most certainly, the Freedom of Choice has to be addressed all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. If this ‘Bill’ was voted on by the American People in 2010, it would ‘not’ pass.

Sorry for the rambling, just a sixty-eight year old that is more than PO’d by a Government that once elected, for the people and by the people is so corrupted by special interests, so swayed by Unions and .ORG’s and arrogant to boot.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all…

I would rather see the bill stopped now instead of hoping for court decisions, as you said, who knows how those will turn out?

If the courts can rip the mandated parts out of the bill that would render it almost useless. Who know how a court case would come out.

Neuter, that was the word I was looking for! That may be the best we can hope for, passage is all but assured, we may have to break this bill apart piece by piece.

This is an issue that I would see going all the way to the Supreme Court. Liberals see in the ocnstitution what they want to see, we have seen that with their explanations on where they get this authority. The Supreme Court is still 5-4 conservative, so that is where our best chance lies.

The more that we can take out of this bill, the better. Even if it means doing it a little at a time. The fight may be just beginning.

Normally I wouls say that there is no way to undo it after it passes, but the fact that the coverage doesn’t go into effect for four years may give us the opportunity to reverse this after the 2010 elections.

If we can dismantle a piece at a time I can die fulfilled. I agree it is going to pass. We can do nothing to stop it but if we can neuter it the end result is the same. Hopefully come 2010 we can replace the liberals and RINOs with actual representatives who list to those who voted them in.
