Repealing it is not as difficult as you may think. Because this bill was passed using reconciliation, it can be repealed using reconciliation. Republicans already have a majority in the house and can pass the measure there. In the senate, they only need 51 votes to repeal it. That said, I doubt Harry Reid will allow it to actually reach the floor for a vote. If it does come up for a vote I think there may be a few democrats who would abandon their party and side with the republicans.
The surest way to make it happen is to take back the majority in the senate and have Romney defeat Obama.
