I am of two minds about this.
The conventional wisdom tells us that an entitlement, once enacted, will never be repealed. Naturally, this is a fearful prospect, and one all conservatives must recognize.
The difference here is that there never has been an entitlement that passed with so little public support. So, this may be the wrong time to say “never.”
On the other hand, the public has a short memory — and those of us who live for politics have to remember that this is the natural state of things, as people have jobs and families and private lives to look after.
It’s possible that an ObamaCare defeat would have robbed the Tea Party movement of its signature issue and a certain amount of momentum going into the November elections.
Now, we can be assured that ObamaCare will continue to dominate nearly every news cycle, especially since most states will be mounting legal challenges.
This will help ensure an informed and motivated electorate come November.
Scratch that ... this will help ensure a royally p****d off electorate come November.

Excellent point.
May have to tie the kangaroo down for several years before it’s killed.
