Anyone with a sense of the cons ution sees that most or all will be repealed.
It's exactly what the democrats did. Introduce legislation they knew the republicans would be forced to vote NO for.

Nobody is forced to vote NO. And all the procedural bull ? What was that if not ankle biting?
"You seen any one dying on the streets lately
from lack of healthcare."
I know I'm wasting my time, but check the international tables of infant mortality. Perinatal care for the poor in the USA is way below standard in other industrial countries with national health care plans.
Also, many uninsured, the same people who aren't very educated, put off going to free health care facilities until it's too late. They don't die on the street, but they do die from being sicker at a younger age that more affluent, insured people.
btw, "studies have shown" that black men and women get referred for expensive treatment less often than whites.
That silly 1099 rule was repealed today.
Maybe it will. That said, the last thing I would take from you is cons utional analysis...
Good for small business. Nothing wrong with improving the law.
Did they vote on the repeal?
Do you also find egregious that this stuff is going as part of an Airport building bill?
Well, according to the Administration, this provision was going to raise about $8 billion in revenue. That will really screw up the CBO estimates when we actually get around to voting on the entire bill on it economic merits, somewhere down the road.
It lost on a straight party line vote with the two Independents not present.
What I find egregious is that the Senate Majority leader won't allow the legislation to reach the floor on its own merits.
Any port in a storm, I say.
lol yoni is outraged at legislative blocking tactics?
Seriously?
How did the GOP vote on this amendment?
A symbolic vote. I guess the polls didn't scare the Dems...
Procedural bull is nothing new. You can look back at how the GOP acted in Congress for the past two years for a clear example.
I don't know the break down; but, it took Democrats to pass it.
Nope. But, it's not over.
It's always been said that making law was a lot like making sausage.
Looks like the GOP didn't have an issue either:
By a bipartisan vote of 81-17, the Senate on Wednesday evening passed an amendment by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) that would repeal a provision from the ACA that requires all businesses to fill out a tax form known as a "1099" each time they spend $600 or more.
As far as symbolic votes go, I would say it pretty much is.
So why you have a problem with it now?
I was in favor of repealing the 1099 rule. Good for them.
Cool for you. At the end of the day, whether or not Obamacare survives is the central question. I predict it doesn't. I also predicte the electoral fates off approximately 20 Democrat Senators hinge on which side of the argument they choose to take.
Time will tell.
Because it goes against my position. Why else would I have a problem with it?
So you don't really think the extra $8 billion was a problem. Okay.
I have nothing to do with symbolic votes.
So you basically admit you're just a cheerleader. You are willing to flip flop at will as long as it works for your team. Gotcha.
yoni wears his hypocrisy like a medal.
Sorry the vote didn't meet your expectations...
I don't get paid for my political a en so, no big deal.
Not when I think the additional costs will eventually fall to repeal, no.
Could have fooled me; it was mentioned in just about every post.
Haven't changed my position on Obamacare. It should be repealed and I don't care how that's achieved.
Oh, and I still hope Obama fails.
I wonder how many will have regrets in 2012?
Just like the repeal making it's way to the Senate floor?
Because it was a very likely outcome. There's really not a lot of surprises when it comes to having a majority in a chamber of Congress.
Party before country. Gotcha.
Didn't we hear this when they passed the actual law?
Whatever remorse they had was not enough to vote for the repeal.
It ain't over.
Whatever gets you through the night.
I think Obamacare is bad for the country, it's coincidental that Republicans are on my side of the argument.
It was enough to lose the House, a bunch of state legislature, and governorships. We'll see how the electorate feels in another 2 years.
Okay
Hey, I don't like the mandate any more than you do, but I certainly don't lose any sleep over it.
And wanting Barry to fail is what if not party cheerleading?
I disagree that strictly Obamacare was the reason for that. I put much more weight on the economic crisis, including the job losses and the depression, and the general disenchantment with Obama for not being that different from Bush.
Plus political swings in mid-terms elections are hardly new, even if this swing was relatively stronger than others. I mean, I still remember when the Dems were a seat short of obtaining supermajority back in '06.
A recognition that his domestic agenda is harmful to our country.
I think you're wrong. But, oh well, that's okay; we're only two voters.
This was an historic swing and, I don't think it's over.
