Don't worry..... under the new democrat rules ( i.e. the make them up as you go regime per Alcee Hastings) you only need 51 votes in the senate to pass a repeal bill.

"And yes, I'm working from an assumption that is hardly an inevitability." Or even particularly likely. Why would QoS worsen? Has it gone down in Mass. after they passed an almost identical plan? Or Hawaii, which has universal coverage for decades? Now, costs could skyrocket. There is no public option or the ability to buy into Medicare. So there is nothing stopping the insurance companies from exploiting the situation. But that might backfire on them.
