What's Next?

What's next with the healthcare fiasco?  Court battles loom, many are talking of repeal, and some states are moving toward the notion of resisting implementation.  Other than the new taxes and fees, very little of the healthcare bill takes effect for the next four years.  Seems like the perfect setup for the Republicans to take advantage of, if they have the guts.

Now we need to unelect them (by electing different people).  And that's what the Tea Parties are all about.  If we elect Tea Party candidates, I have little doubt that the healthcare abomination will be repealed.  If we elect conventional candidates, I have little doubt that it will be expanded (it's a bureaucratic law, you know)...
