By Alan Caruba
The resistance to Obamacare is writing a new chapter in U.S. history. It may well become the most unpopular law since Prohibition became an Amendment to the Constitution in 1919. By 1933, another Amendment repealed it.
Obamacare passed by a straight Democratic party vote on Christmas Eve in 2009. No Republican voted for it and, as one poll recently revealed, a third of Americans are still unaware it is the law of the land. A divided Supreme Court gave it a pass,…

GOP-backed U.S. House PCIP bill reinforces Obamacare Th-6By Nancy Thorner - It seems like it's the order of the day for proposed bills to be fast-tracked from their mark-ups through final votes in both houses of Congress.
