"As for the public debt, lots of countries have repudiated their public debt, but that's not usually considered a revolutionary act."

Well...actually, it is. Hence, Amendment 14. It certainly was for this country. Many died here questioning an English King's public debt. It was for the equivalent of a penny tax on tea. Taxation and import tariffs fueled the fires of the American Civil War as well. I would conclude by saying that, as for Obamacare, it will never be repealed. It will have to be destroyed, by revolutionary act.

No, defaults on sovereign debt are not considered revolutionaryacts by just people. It's just considered a national failure.

I think Obamacare could be repealed as part of decision to get the government out of our health care system by also repealing programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Repeal of Obamacare needs to be based upon a broader philosophical goal - to privatize our health care system and get the government out. It's much harder to try to eliminate just one of the government programs.
