Comments on: What’s the next Congress to do with HCR? https://thenewneo.com/2010/10/18/whats-the-next-congress-to-do-with-hcr/ A blog about political change, among other things Tue, 19 Oct 2010 03:23:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.1 By: Ritchie Emmons https://thenewneo.com/2010/10/18/whats-the-next-congress-to-do-with-hcr/#comment-193404 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 03:23:44 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/2010/10/18/whats-the-next-congress-to-do-with-hcr/#comment-193404 Let’s not forget that HCR was passed using the underhanded “Reconciliation” process. Quite frankly, I think it’s perfectly legitimate to repeal the law in the same manner. No need to require 60 votes in the Senate.

If I were the Rs, I’d try to defund everything in the bill except for any provisions that may be politically dangerous to defund (if there are any). All this for a build up for repeal after the 2012 elections.

The cherry on top would be that Obama would be so profoundly repudiated. A very humiliating blow for someone that has as much self-regard as he has.

the rest of HCR as far as I know is intended to do as much damage to the US as possible.

But then you’re just a big meanie for arguing with them.

What I called Insurance they now call Catastrophic Coverage and act like it’s insufficient.

And let’s stop pretending we’re talking about Insurance for Pre-existing Conditions. When the probability is 1.0 that ain’t insurance.
