While there is an off shot that it can be repealed after the 2010 elections, its kind of like saying there's an off shot that the Cleveland Browns will win the Super Bowl next year.
The more likely scenario, which is still sadly unlikely but frankly the best chance we have to not have another abomination of an entitlement program weighing down on the countries neck like an albatross ala social security, is for Republican congressional victories in 2010 and 2012 on the back of, in part, pushing for the repeal of this legislation and Republicans winning the white house.
IF that happens, and if the repeal is a part of that platform that wins it, 2012 will be the only shot for it. A large majority of the actual entitlement portions of this bill don't come into affect for another year or two after that, giving us one of the only chances to successfully repeal this monstrosity.
This is part of the reason why, many times, when forced to go with the lesser of two evils choice I go with Republicans over Democrats. Republican laws that get passed that I disagree with are usually in the social realm and tend to be historically far more likely to be overturned, and generally have far less long lasting negative results on the country, than the things in the entitlement realm that Democrats hang on this countries neck.
Our government now has control of our bodies along with our pocket books. It frankly makes me sick to my stomach. Thank god father government will take money out of your pants so I can see a doctor for it. :roll:
