If I suspected that the repeal of Obamacare was more than a symbolic "Weeee're baaaaack!" I'd be more excited about it.
I read the summary of the new rules and on the surface, it makes me optimistic. The issue of transparency is only relevant if people get in touch with their representatives with an objection to a bill or parts of a bill and if the representatives do anything about the objections.

Repeal ain't gonna happen, at least not with Congress's current composition. There's just not a strong enough constituency for repeal. Not to mention the guy with the veto pen in the White House.
IMO, this is a sop to the incoming Tea Partiers, to help make them look like they're pushing part of their anti-Obama agenda and to give their supporters a little red meat, despite the fact that it was doomed to failure as soon as they scheduled the vote.

And then they'll talk about how big a deal it is to garner support for other time wasters.
Good for them for placating the uneducated masses.

Volkmann, a chiropractor, says that he was trying to make a point about the health-care law, with which he disagrees. “People were misunderstanding the point of view I was going for with the health care plan. That’s why they were getting so upset. I’m thinking about the provider, I’m a chiropractor, so I’m thinking about my point of view, not everyone getting insurance. They don’t have to worry about getting denied, which is good I guess, just not good for health care providers,” said Volkmann. |

Two more things. Dan Boren voted for the repeal and I am reading that despite Reid's insistence that it will never get to the Senate floor, McConnell claims he will force a vote on the repeal. And then there are the 27 states suing or preparing to sue. Oklahoma is on the list. http://blog.heritage.org/2011/01/17/list-of-states-suing-over-obamacare/ |

Yep, even if it passes on the Senate floor... Good luck with that veto-needing-two-thirds-majority-for-override-thingy... |

Link please. Also, I do not recall the right going bonkers over "civility" in the past two weeks. Drawing a false equivalence is very unbecoming. |

I'll just leave this here. Guido, you shouldn't read it, as it will make your head explode. You might even decide to move to another country: In July of 1798, Congress passed – and President John Adams signed - “An Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen.” The law authorized the creation of a government operated marine hospital service and mandated that privately employed sailors be required to purchase health care insurance.
