What Would It Take To Repeal The Health Care Bill

Here's what Stephanie Condon at CBS new blogs said today, "Repealing the health care bill, however, would take more than winning back a few congressional seats. Just as the Republican minority in the Senate has stalled the current health care debate, a Democratic minority could do the same to any repeal measure unless Republicans were able to pull together at least a 60-vote majority. The GOP would also have to overcome the strong majority Democrats now have in the House. Even if they were to win both chambers back, President Obama could veto any repeal measure at least through 2012."

So it is essential that we defeat the health care bill before it can pass. The Republicans would have to win enough seats in the House and Senate to OVERRIDE a presidential veto. Or, persuade enough Democrats to help repeal a bill that is a disaster to the US economy, health care, and more. Or, hoping against hope, maybe enough Democrats will have a blinding flash of the obvious - this health care reform bill is a total disaster and vote it down.

That's the bottom line.
