House Set to Launch Health Law Challenge

FOX News  "Boehner's speaker blog described the anti-health overhaul campaign as a push to shield businesses from costly requirements, like the oft-maligned mandate that businesses fill out 1099 forms for purchases of more than $600. The statement called for Congress to pass "common-sense reforms" to lower costs without using "unconstitutional mandates" -- the latter a reference to the requirement that Americans buy health insurance, a requirement being challenged in the courts."

Repeal vote is just Republicans' first step on health care  "House committee chairmen will haul administration officials before their panels, pressing for answers to questions that they feel have been ignored. GOP leaders will call for votes on bills dismantling pieces of the law, such as the mandate requiring all Americans to buy insurance. ....
"And, eventually, they will offer an alternative health care reform plan, one that could be pushed legislatively in 2012 and beyond — if they win the Senate and the White House, the holy grail of their long-term strategy."  Politico
They will be opposed by every corner of the media including anti-Republican dialog in movies and TV shows.

British Government Plans Major Health Care Reform  [Prime Minister David] "Cameron says he will save money and cut red tape by giving control over management to family practitioners rather than bureaucrats.
"He said Monday that standards of care in Britain have fallen behind other European countries."
"Some doctors welcome the changes, but the British Medical Association claimed the scale of the reforms could cause chaos."  Because it is firmly entrenched in the British economy, which we must not let happen here in the US. Time is of the essence. (Emphasis added)
