Heritage: "Road to Repeal is Well Under Way"

Health care isn't a done deal according to Conn Carroll, who writes over at the Heritage Foundation's Foundry blog that...

...the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirmed that the federal government will have to spend an additional $115 billion implementing the law, bringing the total estimated cost to over $1 trillion.

The result, according to Carroll, is that it will only fuel the repeal that is already well on its way.

Since the left can’t even figure out what is in the bill they are trying to defend, the latest Rasmussen Reports shows that 63% of likely voters now believe it will increase the federal deficit, and 56% now favor repeal. Not waiting for this November’s elections to change the leadership in Congress, states are leading the way on the road to repeal. According to The Washington Post 33 states have mounted legal and legislative challenges to the new law.

Keep dreaming. It's a done deal. If conservatives want to help figure cost-saving measures that's great, but I sincerely doubt that given how much they're tying up the legal system and spending taxpayer dollars on something that WILL NOT CHANGE.

It looks as if the Big Thinkers over at the Heritage are just a tad behind the polling data on this one. The proles out here beyond the beltway are more concerned about jobs than they are about the deficit by a wide margin. Reality trumped ideology, on this question anyway. Better luck next time, CC.
