Repeal Healthcare Law? Forget About It
On Tuesday, the Congressional Budget Office added another reason to drop the politics and get down to the hard work of health care reform.

The CBO's report reveals the practical hurdles to repeal and underscores a growing pattern in which the key stakeholders -- states, medical providers, businesses, insurers and consumer groups -- are moving beyond the partisan squabble to the no-nonsense work of building the market place of 2014, where everyone will be able to purchase affordable insurance regardless of pre-existing conditions.
