It's hard to believe anyone will still vote for them again. What does it take?

Probably the point is to keep in play the issues around what and how Obamacare will work. There is no realistic intent to repeal, in that, there is no legislative path to do it, at least at the national level.
And yes, it is going to take some heavy lifting to make all 2000 pages of the law work. Already the business mandate has been postpone due to problems in implementation. The next issue are the exchanges which open their doors in less than 90 days. Then there is how will the individual mandate work as to how well the insurance options will be accepted, and, will the IRS be able deal with the requirements as to penalties and subsidies. Already the agency has stated that it take the filer's word on what their insurance status is without having a means to verify what that status is.
Nope, this is not going to be pretty, and yes, there are going to have to be changes made both now and in the future to make this all work, the question is how well, will it work. And no, repeal isn't going to happen as there is not any other choice that can be offered that the country can afford. The status quo included.

Really?
The right said the same thing about SS and Medicare, Civil Rights and God; none of which came to pass.
When will the right admit that their ideology is just a bunch of control freaks that want their way or no way. It's quite obvious they are not interested in governing, just dictating. They'll say anything... they have no shame.

There must be something really good in it somewhere for people because they hate it so much. The true Obamacare was a one payer system or at least a choice to be in a one payer system, this mess is one congress came up with.

In fact, the one that Republicans came up with; their answer to HilloryCare.

ALAN FRAM 3 hours agoWASHINGTON (AP) — For the 40th time, Republicans pushed legislation through the House on Friday targeting President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, this one a bill preventing the Internal Revenue Service from implementing any part of the health care law.
The measure, symbolic because of the certainty that it will be ignored by the Democratic-led Senate, was approved by a near party-line 232-185 vote.
The legislation married two of the GOP's favorite targets: the 2010 health care law and the IRS.

in a similar vein, rick perry has called a third special session of the legislature at another cost of 2 million dollars. this time to consider a transportation bill....which shows it was more important to deny the women of texas access to safe abortion that it was to fund the highways since it was the second special session that was called to
