Will/can the House fight to repeal Obamacare again? Or is it most definitely going to happen in 2014?

Any attempt to repeal Obamacare will be stopped cold in the Senate by Harry "Whorehouse" Reid.

Besides, our linguine spined Speaker of the House doesn't have to guts to do it. All he does it orchestrate meaningless votes on it!

Yawn

They already did. It doesn't matter if the Senate won't go along with it and Obama will veto it.  MAYBE the state (some anyway) will neutralize it in a few states.

QuoteThe U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to repeal President Barack Obama's health care law, a largely symbolic move that has virtually no chance of moving forward.

Five Democrats crossed the aisle to join 239 Republicans in voting to overturn the Affordable Care Act: Rep. Mike Ross (Ark.), Reps. Mike McIntyre and Larry Kissell of North Carolina, Rep. Dan Boren (Okla.) and Rep. Jim Matheson (Utah). Not a single Republican voted to keep the law. The final vote count was 244 to 185. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/house-votes-to-repeal-obamacare/

It's a done deal. There is no more fighting it. President Romney would have repealed it. That opportunity is gone.

The house does not have to fund it when it is needed.  They always go back for more.

The best hope seems to be the REPUBLICAN Governors, they might band together and refuse it in their respective states, I understand Fla is making this noise even though Obamao "won".

No chance at all, huh? :/ I figured.

It just concerns me a lot because I am currently in nursing school and I don't know how this affect my future profession. I'm a first year student.

So are states required to accept the bill once it passes? Or can they reject it? I'm from PA, democratic state, so I don't see that happening anyway...

Good RN will always be need.  Your just starting to see the baby boomer come on line.  The problem will be will we have the doctor for what is coming down the line.  If not you will be need even more. 

I also see more RN becoming Medical practitioners.

The individual states can neuter Obamacare and they should. Truth be told, Obama never wanted Obamacare, this is not the endgame. Obamacare is a stopgap before a single payer system which is what the left wants. Obamacare needs to fail, in fact, it is destined to fail and I think Obama himself knows this. It's failure will be used as a pretext to legitimize the induction of a socialized system like the NHS in Britain. What's key here is that Obamacare must fail while Republicans have enough control to prevent a socialized system from being installed in its place.

Yawn

That's why business are moving to a part-time work force.  Those employees will be forced into the government program.  It'll be over in 5 years.

That is actually an excellent career choice. Obama has promised to provide healthcare to 30 million that are currently uninsured. Baby boomers are just beginning to need care. They will continue to age and require more healthcare.

You should be good to go. Stick with it. This field is going to need workers, with or without Obamacare.

Thanks for the support in my nursing decision. Many of my peers in school are majorly concerned about Obamacare because we are unsure of its effects on the nursing profession. But I'm glad to hear that prospects will still be good. That is relieving.

My goal is to become a nurse practitioner and I am concerned for this because I know in some regions, NPs has to collaborate with a physician. To my knowledge, Obamacare will increase the physician shortage.

I don't graduate with my RN until 2016, the end of his term, but Obamacare may (or may not) still be in play at that time.

For those of you who are saying i will fail, can you tell me a little more about that? What would happen if the plan fails?
