From my understanding, this is the 3rd time to actually try for a full repeal, every other time was to amend. That was part of the debate today, and the bits and pieces I caught of it. We'll have to see if it goes anywhere. Obamacare has some good valid points (a few), but VERY poor execution....I think with a few mandates to the insurance companies (pre-existing conditions, age limitations for having to drop off kids from the policy,and setting a healthcare "standard"),they could avoid this bill all together, and achieve more than Obamacare ever will, with less burden on everyone. During the debate, they were saying that Obamacare's paperwork is a 7ft tall stack of paperwork, and the bill alone is something like 2,300 pages...excessive much??

I enjoyed my "free" socialized medicine in my home country. Of course it wasn't "national" healthcare, but instead provincial with no two provinces having the same system. But the sheep down here were told otherwise when the GWN's system was touted as a model. I recall a visit to the ER. After filling out the prerequisite paperwork and handing over my health card I enjoyed a five hour wait. Finally, in pain but disgusted with the entire process I said "fuggit, I'm going home" and left the ER. Ah, such an efficient system. Obamacare will be the cat's meow... 
You are right. I did a bit more research on it and found the same information. In fact, while I was looking, one of the members of the House of Representatives, a doctor by trade, was interviewed by Greta Van Sustern about the IRS overseeing Obamacare. He stated the same thing that you just brought to our attention. Thanks for the correction.

Obamacare is just going to make the whole thing worse and add a lot more expense. In fact it already has.
But it'll be "free". Just like a phone. Don't knock it down until you've tried it. It'll be utopia.
I'll tell you what, if we ever should have "hope and change," it's need to be for this to be repealed, or severely amended. I have no doubt that something could be done, and NEEDS to be done because health care/insurance is one of the most corrupt systems in the states, but I think it would be easier to start over than rifle through that bs they passed, and not to mention to trust the IRS to HONESTLY run it...

It will be another bloated bureaucracy that can not get anything done and just drives up the price of healthcare while bringing down the quality. People will be denied things that we take for granted now and there will be much less ability to appeal.
No, no... it'll be great. Like everything else the govt does.
