Healthcare Repeal: Fact or Fiction

With the 112th congress only two days old the fire works are already starting to fly. The Republican majority in the house are acting quickly to try and repeal the health care bill that was passed last year. It looks as though it will pass in the house but not in the senate. So many in the political establishments and the media ask this question;  "What is the point?" Some people have argued that this sudden move is nothing more the an attempt to appease their base, and stay true to their election promises. With the health care bill being challenged in the courts and on the floor of the legislature, some form of change is coming in regards to the bill. What level of change is still up in the air.

With an issue this polarized it will be hard to get real data about the potential changes to the health care bill. Each media outlet, depending on the writers bend, gives a little different report of the data.  Ever those in office argue about what the "real" facts are.

"I do not believe that repealing the job-killing health care law will increase the deficit," Boehner said at a Capitol press conference the day after the GOP formally regained the House majority."- (washingtonpost.com)


"The Congressional Budget office confirms that just one day after taking over the House, the Republican rhetoric on fiscal discipline doesn't meet the reality..... Sander Levin (D-Mich.) said in a statement Thursday."- (washingtonpost.com) 

So is the repeal of health care real or just more political posturing? Will congress change the bill or destroy it entirely? Like a lot of things in life, only time will tell.  

112th congress

Change is coming to Washington this year, but is it change we can believe in? With the Republicans taking control of the house and more of Obama's cabinet members leavings, the ground is fertile for radical change. With the republicans sighting in on Obama Care and cutting the deficit, the Democrats are already on the defensive even before the session has started.


The new wave of freshman congressman have been sworn in and their education is underway. It will be interesting to see what comes about from the new officials. Will the more diverse group bring about a more middle of the road approach to American politics or will the next year be nothing more then a political quagmire?    

Ones things for certain, the media will have an easy job making the new congress interesting. Internal fighting, health care lawsuits, corruption charges, Immigration reforms and much more! Get ready for 2011 here comes the chaos.
