And while all the news coverage today has been on Egypt, the senate was to vote on the full repeal of the bill. Guess we'll have to hear about it later?

Well, I'm a repub (except that I'm registered as a dem - but that's another story) and I think some reforms ARE needed. But I don't like the way obamacare was passed. For example, take the idea of eliminating pre-existing conditions or lifetime caps. Maybe they're great ideas - but they're not free. If you believe they need to be eliminated, don't just tell me the benefit, tell me how much the cost will be too, and tell me who will be paying that cost! Obamacare was passed on the basis of its benefits, while the costs were completely glossed over. I just don't think it's a good idea to ram through massive legislation on a completely partisan basis with no honest effort to arrive at a consensus that has at least considered mainstream views.

So we need to add to it?

Not sure what I think about taxing health insurance, haven't given it a lot of thought.

I would have to know how much it would actually cost the average worker with a semi-decent healthcare plan, to start.

Sadly, we can never close Pandora's Box. All we conservatives can hope to accomplish is to slow the relentless suffocation of liberalism...

The vote on the full repeal (which will fail) is scheduled later, one of the 1099 changes is being voted on now.
