All that has to happen is for the Dems to agree to a one year delay in the indidvidual mandate. If in that time the people put their footdown and demand that the individual mandate be eliminated forever, then it will be a battle between what the people want and what the Dems have wanted for 50 years. I think the people's will is more important than the Democrats'. Don't you agree?
