Before the health care vote even started candidates and elected officials opposed to this atrocious excuse for health care reform were pledging to repeal it if passed. They have asked citizens to support those who are willing to repeal this bill. When it passed they renewed their pledge. That’s great on paper but the reality is that we are unlikely to ever have the super-majority necessary to override a veto should a bill to repeal ever pass. That means that efforts to repeal would have to wait at least three years until we got a president willing to repeal this monstrosity. Sadly the voters have shown many times that they do not have a three year attention span. As for congress, I find it miraculous that they had a two year attention span on this issue—perhaps they managed because they completely abandoned paying any attention to how much the voters disliked this particular piece of rancid sausage.
