A repeal of the heathcare legislation cannot happen! It might pass the House, but it will certainly not pass the Senate, nor can any such Congressional vote survive a Presidential veto. That much is as close to a certainty as the sun rising tomorrow morning.

So it's clear that our elected representatives are once again posturing and acting in ways they think will improve their individual political futures with an uninformed and only occasionally interested electorate.

As RichieLion points out above, the Congress would have a much better chance of reducing the impact of the legislation called "Obamacare" if they took action to reduce or eliminate it's funding when they consider changes to the authorized federal debt ceiling and federal budget in a couple of months. But that kind of thinking isn't very sexy and doesn't create good sound bites to impress the gullible public. That kind of thinking would also place at risk various federal spending that the Congress thinks is viewed favorably by the public. Good Lord, that kind of thinking might actually result in a reduction in federal spending and maybe some baby steps towards resolving out-of-control federal spending! Will it happen? Sadly, probably not. That kind of thinking has as much a chance for success as repaealing Obamacare.

So what's going to happen regarding any attempt to improve upon the existing Obamacare legislation? Nothing! And that will be a shame because there are certainly many ways that it could be improved upon.
