This ridiculous healthcare bill that a majority of americans oppose and which was shoved down our throats by the democrats is bad for the country.
Forcing those that went against our will to stand up and vote for it a second time will just identify who to vote out next election.
forcing the asshat in the white house to veto the bill to repeal it also works as a reminder as to who we should vote out.

Spoken from a republican perspective.
So this is all bad?:

In the 10 months since health reform became law, several pieces have been put into place.
They include allowing parents to keep adult children on their policies until age 26, eliminating lifetime insurance caps and creating high-risk pools in which people with medical conditions can buy affordable insurance.
The law also gives tax credits to small businesses that provide health coverage to employees, requires insurers to cover the cost of preventive care, such as physicals and screenings, and allows states to review insurance-premium increases.

Health-care law's repeal would hurt millions, advocates say
Regardless of whether you're a repub or dem, this "effort" from the republicans at this point is a complete waste of time. Repeal is not going to happen.
Regarding the reply to my previous post by KillerK, I understand your point in saying it's better to try than not at all, but some things are just impossible at a certain time and certain situation. I'm not saying a repeal will never happen, but at this point, with the scenario in Washington as it is, a repeal will not happen right now, and efforts to do so as the first priority of the new congress is a waste of time and tax payer money.
