The Weekly Standard has a great article about the likelihood of repealing ObamaCare in the coming years.  According to American Crossroads PAC, the importance of the ObamaCare repeal in the 2012 election will determine the chances of repeal in the future.

From the article:

More than anything else, what will determine success or failure in making that case and building that momentum is the degree to which the Republican presidential nominee chooses to make repeal a cornerstone of his campaign.  Mitt Romney lists repealing Obamacare as one of the 59 points in his economic plan, but he doesn’t list it among the plan’s top-5 legislative priorities. Moreover, rather than saying he has learned from his mistakes, that he now knows we need an approach that focuses on lowering health costs (and preserving liberty), and that he believes what happens in liberal Massachusetts should stay firmly in Massachusetts, he has defended his health-care law in ways thatcould often double as defenses of Obamacare.
