Republican "Review" of HCR Repeal, November 10, 2010

Forget about the morality of dumping new protections for our most vulnerable - a concern that obviously is not weighing on the minds of Congressional Republicans.

I think we can start with the premise that a wholesale repeal will be impossible, structurally and because there are clearly popular subparts of PPACA. That leaves the interesting question of what specifically would be proposed for repeal, something that would actually increase awareness of the beneficial parts of the PPACA. Here's a chart showing the political folly of that idea:

This is all, therefore, little more than posturing of the bovine sort. Exactly what we would expect, I suppose.
