1. Parts of the bill?

2. I will be interested to read the actual bill coming out of the Senate. No, I am not going to listen

to the repugs have it read

3. So, the bill passes, but before it kicks in, everyone gets to bitch and complain

meaning that changes can be made. Maybe public option will be in there, yet!

4. Maybe that is their strategy. The question is how difficult is it to amend a bill that is law?

Does that require 2/3?

5. With all the drama around the po this time

I can't any one braving that storm any time soon.

6. Also, the GOP plans to run their upcoming election(s) against the

HCR Bill, promising to repeal it part by part.

8. Just looking at the current situation, I suspect they would face the same problems repealing it

as the Democrats had passing it

7. actually, as I understand it, they start collecting money now, but the results don't kick

until 2014.

Because, really, it's all about soaking US taxpayer to the hilt.
