The next Congress is likely to repeal Obamacare by
“reconciliation,” a parliamentary maneuver that allows a simple majority in the
U.S. Senate to pass a bill. With fewer than 60 Republican Senators in the next
Congress, reconciliation is the only way to move quickly to solve the problems
Obamacare created. Otherwise, we could expect Democratic Senators to filibuster
a repeal bill.
However, not every jot and tittle of Obamacare can be
repealed through reconciliation, which sets up a challenging couple of years
(at least) for those who wish to repeal Obamacare and replace it with
patient-centered health care.
