Republicans won the House. Now What Happens To Health Reform? (PPACA)

Nancy and Steny Kissing
each other goodbye. 

Most everyone, at this point, must be thinking.....what is going to happen with Health Reform under the PPACA?  According to the LA Times, the soon to be Speaker of The House, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio vows to dismantle the health care monstrosity.  "The American people are concerned about the government takeover of health care", he said.  " I think it is important for us to lay the groundwork before we begin to repeal this monstrosity and replace it with common-sense reforms that will bring down the cost of health care insurance in America."  This sentiment of repeal, according to a November 1, 2010 Rasmussen Poll, is shared among 58% of likely US Voters.

I know that many on the right and some turn-coats on the left have vowed to repeal the health care reform (PPACA) signed into law on March 23, 2010.  I honestly have no idea how that would happen.  Not that it couldn't, I just don't know enough about the politics to be sure.  However, what I do know is that the Republican House has already set a course through amendments and bills to "chip away" at the current law.  Some of these bills include: 

1. No less than 9 representative have bills to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
2. H.R. 4904-Prohibits the use of funds for implementation or enforcement of any federal mandate to purchase health insurance. (Poe, R-TX)
3. H.R. 4985-Medicare Decision Accountability Act of 2010 (Roe, R-TN)-This bill repeals legislation to set-up a Independent Advisory Board that was enacted in the PPACA and gives bureaucratic control to determine what benefits are covered and how much physicians are to be paid.  The IPAB sole intention will be to determine whether Medicare is spending more than budgeted and offer "fixes" to cut-back on that spending.
4. H.R. 4995-End the Mandate Act of 2010  (Paul, R-TX)-Repeals the sections of PPACA that force all Americans to purchase federally-approved health insurance plans.
5. H.R. 5054-Prevent IRS Overreach Act of 2010 (Forbes, R-VA)-Prohibits the IRS from hiring, transferring or appointing individuals for positions used to enforce provisions of health care reform.
6. H.R. 5126-Helping Save Americans' Health Care Choices Act of 2010 (Fleming, R-VA)-repeals provisions of the PPACA including the additional taxes on Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and the prohibitions on tax-free reimbursements for over-the-counter medications as well as remove the cap on Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA's).
7. H.R. 5141-Helping Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act (Lungren, R-CA)-Repeals the tax reporting mandate included in the PPACA thats requires all business to file 1099's for all transactions in goods and services over $600 a year. 
8. H.R. 5444-To Amend the PPACA to permit a State to elect NOT to establish and American Health Benefit Exchange (Paul, R-TX)-This bill places individuals back in control of health care by replacing PPACA with reforms designed to restore a free market health care system.

So it seems to me that the Republican House, if they can't repeal the PPACA, will make sure that Health Reform is not going to look, at all, like it does today.  If they are successful , they will be taking away funding to manage it, taking away committees to oversee the administration of it and eliminate the health care exchanges to deliver it.  Doesn't seem like much of the PPACA is going to be left after they are done with it.
