Yes the voters will remember that the first couple of weeks in power the GOP thought it was wise to waste the time repealing a bill that they knew they could not get repealed. The President has said he willing to reform the bill, and that is what the majority of Americans want done. The GOP is obviously not interested in working with the Dems meaning nothing will get done and the voters will know very well who is to blame in 2012. Either the Repubs will learn to work wth the Dems or they will loose that majority in the House, count on that.

You can speculate and I can speculate...we can do this for days....

Fact, Harry Reid said it would not come up for a vote...

Dick Durbin Admits Senate May Face Health Care Repeal Vote (VIDEO)

Now it is...

You cannot reform something that already has well over 700 waivers to it. I also believe it can be done with less than 2700 pages...a few hundred at the most....and lets leave all the BS out of it...

I also believe most people want it reformed...but again, lets start over...and how about this...lets KNOW WHATS IN IT BEFORE IT BECOMES A LAW....

'Mini-med' health plan waivers top 700: HHS | Business Insurance

Why would anyone be interested in working with anyone....when they were shut out completely? I don't want to hear that obama tried to work with the republicans the first 3 months of his term either...even if he did, he put the republicans in the "back of the bus" for over 21 months...
