Geee Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Daily Caller:If Republicans really do repeal the president’s health care law, they’ll do it in 2013 with control of the presidency and the Senate.“We passed wholesale repeal in the House. We have no delusion it’s going to pass the Senate or the president,” said Rep. Joe Pitts, chairman of the health subcommittee in the Energy and Commerce Committee in an interview Wednesday.“If, in 2012, the electorate continues what they did in the last election and we get control of the House and Senate and even the presidency, then in one good long weekend we could undo the damage,” Pitts said.“This has got to be the key issue in the 2012 presidential campaign,” said Grace Marie-Turner, co-author of “Why Obamacare is Wrong for America” and a key player in the push by conservative outside groups to bolster Hill Republicans on repeal, “there’s no way it’s gonna pass the Senate now or that the President would sign it.”The issue is important because even if the Supreme Court rules the “individual mandate” in the law, which imposes a fine on those who do not purchase health insurance, is unconstitutional, it’s far less likely the high court will deem the entire law void, as a federal judge did in Florida.
