Most of the bill doesn't even take effect for 4 years. It's not like anyone is suddenly going to be missing something if it gets repealed in a year. Plus, I don't think it will get completely repealed. I think parts of it will.
Anyone who knows politics knows that nothing is ever a done deal.
The parts I talked about take effect right away. That's why I doubt the Republicans will actually push repeal. The parts of the bill that are the most controversial are the parts that aren't set to take effect for 4 years, like the insurance mandate.
You are correct though....nothing is ever a done deal. We have 4 years to get the mandate replaced by a strong public option which would better serve the people of this country. Once the first parts of the bill take effect and people see the benefits, it will be an easier sell, and I expect even some Republicans will support it.
