Repealing ObamaCare

The Speaker's office is about to announce that the House Rules Committee will meet on Thursday and a rule to consider repeal of ObamaCare will be brought to the House floor on Friday. The house will then vote on January 12. Is there really a chance of repeal or is it just posturing by the Republicans? In my opinion it's the latter because even if the House approves repeal it will be a real uphill challenge in the Senate and finally it would eventually die with a Presidential veto. It will however, bring the matter back into the public eye at a time when the majority of Americans are beginning to doubt whether the Democrat's "rush to get it done" was a wise choice. Any bill that totals over 2,000 pages has to result in unintended consequences that can only be speculated upon until the full affect of the legistlation becomes reality in 2014. The best we can hope for is repeal or reworking of some of the more drastic provisions.
