Just read between the lines Steve.. I'd ask you to clarify but knowing your history, there's little need to ask. Yep, history is a good thing, at least for me, It's how I normally formulate opinions.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

we need to UNdo a law first, and can't do that without the Senate. Steve, can the president and house defund Zero care?

No. Romney would have to pursue state waivers and then chip away at the law first by garnering Dem support. The Congress could end up not funding certain provisions of the law but they could not simply say no to funding currently existing,validly legislated law.

Funding isn't everything with ZeroCare.
The law requires does so much that funding has nothing to do with. For instance, the requirement that insurance Co.s pay out a certain percent of premiums. All that has to happen with that is for a lawyer to look over the 10K statement of an insurance co and see how much they are paying out. Not paying out enough? Lawsuit!
And what about the insurability provisions? And the "free" stuff insurance co.s are supposed to provide? Same thing.

An example: Zerocare requires coverage in spite of pre-existing conditions. You are uninsured, diagnosed with cancer. You apply for insurance and are denied. 0bamacare makes that denial illegal. You sue.
What is a president supposed to do about that?
The judge & jury in your case would have to find in your favor based on provisions of the law.
There is no Gov't funding required.

We were talking about why we need to control the Senate as well as the House & Presidency.

Naw, I'm fine with neither side holding all the cards.
The more fighting they do back and forth, the less laws and regulations they'll come up with. �It's the Senate, Stupid� Fellow Conservatives: This is U.S. Senator Jim DeMint. You may remember the slogan "It's the economy, stupid" used by Bill Clinton during the 1992 presidential campaign to make the point that George H. W. Bush had not adequately addressed the economy. Clinton's political strategist, James Carville, posted the phrase inside campaign headquarters as a way to keep the team focused and on message. The phrase later became the de facto slogan for the Clinton election campaign. The slogan is relevant again in 2012 as Americans consider Barack Obama's dismal economic record, but if you consider yourself a freedom-loving American, I have a different slogan for you. �It's the Senate, Stupid� Without a conservative Senate, we won't repeal Obamacare. Without a conservative Senate, we won't balance the budget. Without a conservative Senate, we won't secure our borders. Without a conservative Senate, we won't stop the bailouts. And without a conservative Senate, we won't enact the pro-growth policies needed to get America back to work. Respectfully, Jim DeMint United States Senator

Dems will probably hold the Senate and the presidency, Rep hold the house. They've got three weeks before Thanksgiving to deal with the tax cuts expiring and sequestration and neither will be dealt with. My incredibly pessimistic prediction.

They'll never repeal Ubamacare so long as Harry Reid remains Senate Majority Leader.
