When will everyone learn that this country is controlled by industry, not the grass roots taxpayers.
Not just that, it's politically unkillable. Think about it, if it's repealed you're guaranteed, just by the sheer number of people in this country, that someone who has a good media face will be seriously hurt through the repeal (think some kid with cancer who's parents can't afford his leg transplant so he'll never play soccer again... or some bs like that). All it would take is one good story, and it'd be attached to the politician who spearheaded the removal. Political suicide.
They will continue to posture and pretend they want to repeal it, because their base will vote for them if they say they're going to.... but a smart person would look at the 50+ times they've "attempted" to repeal it and realize that if they were actually serious about wanting to do it, they would only do it when they had a chance to succeed.
