Sebelius: ‘If the Court strikes Obamacare down, we just keep going

Lots going on with Obamacare today. I looked for the clip, and what a surprise. It was cut out of the program. No wonder I could not find it. Clever guys our Obama folks. Our Dictator in chief will not stop with the Court, his minion says. It will be war indeed over healthcare, no matter who gets elected. See the Romney post below this one, for that pickle we are in.

“There are other ways to bring healthy people into the healthcare system if the Supreme Court strikes down the individual mandate in President Obama’s healthcare law”, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in an interview Monday.

Part of Sebelius’s appearance on “The Daily Show” did not make the televised broadcast and was posted online Tuesday morning.

Sebelius said she’s confident the Supreme Court will uphold the mandate, but that there are alternatives if it doesn’t.

“I think we keep going,” she said. “We find ways to encourage people to become enrolled and become insured. And the mandate’s the fastest way to do it, and it just says, basically, everybody’s got some responsibility. But there are other ways to encourage people to come in.” The Hill

Mitt Romney’s adviser ‘You will not repeal Obamacare..’

Just in case anyone is still wondering about Romney and Obamacare. By the way, good ole boy Norm is a lobbyist now, after he lost to Franken, he went off and did what almost all of them do. I am still trying fo find which Healthcare Companies he is representing. My hunch, Big Pharma.

Mitt Romney adviser Norm Coleman, a former senator from Minnesota, predicted the GOP won’t repeal the Democrats’ healthcare reform law even if a Republican candidate defeats President Obama this November.

“You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president,” Coleman told BioCentury This Week television in an interview that aired on Sunday. “You can’t whole-cloth throw it out. But you can substantially change what’s been done.” Video Here

 Hot Air  Update:

Erick Erickson says this would be the end of the GOP:

In fact, the entrenched legislative bureaucracy has a great deal to do with congressional disapproval in the public. Republican staffers want to inch the ball down the field instead of fighting. Democrat staffers are far more aggressive.

If a Republican gets into the White House and does not sweat blood trying to repeal Obamacare in its entirety (regardless of success), I predict the end of the Republican Party legitimately. It won’t be worth fighting for if the party itself does not think it worth fighting for its voters. If the GOP takes back the White House, it’s voters will expect a real fight, not a half-hearted attempt.
