Default House GOP plans to attack Obamacare 'piece-by-piece' until it's gone
I've seen polls where over 60% want Obamacare scrapped. Obamacare was the reason the Democrat party got "shellacked" in November not the economy. Everyone I talk to, especially fellow small businessmen, want this monstrosity repealled ASAP. It is a small business killer.

“But then, after that, we're going to go after this bill piece by piece.” http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0111/46942.html

House GOP plans two-pronged assault on health law

The new Republican-controlled House plans to schedule a vote to repeal the sweeping health care overhaul before President Barack Obama delivers his annual State of the Union address late this month, incoming House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) said Sunday.

“We have 242 Republicans,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.” He added, “There will be a significant number of Democrats, I think, that will join us. You will remember when that vote passed in the House last March, it only passed by seven votes.”

Upton, whose committee will play a key role in the GOP's effort to roll back the law, said that he believes the House may be near the two-thirds majority required to override a presidential veto.

“If we pass this bill with a sizeable vote, and I think that we will, it will put enormous pressure on the Senate to do perhaps the same thing,” he said. “But then, after that, we're going to go after this bill piece by piece.”

Upton specifically called out the requirement for businesses to complete 1099 tax forms, the individual mandate and the amendment on abortion introduced by Michigan Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak. "We will look at these individual pieces to see if we can't have the thing crumble," he said.
