Ok, here's some good info on it.

This is an article by the Washington Post:

CBO says health care repeal would deepen deficit

Rescinding the federal law to overhaul the health-care
system, the first objective of House Republicans who
ascended to power this week, would ratchet up the federal
deficit by about $230 billion over the next decade and
leave 32 million more Americans uninsured, according to
congressional budget analysts.

Which it appears is true, as even congressional republicans
recognize.

area for the GOP. Republicans are vowing to take tough
measures to reduce the deficit, although they already have
exempted the health-care measure from rules requiring that
any spending increases be accompanied by offsetting
reductions so that the net effect on the deficit is null.

Which would not be necessary if repeal of NHC would not increase
the deficit.

...

In their zeal to abolish the law, House Republicans have
said they intend to offer their own recipe to replace it.

They had 15 years, after shutting down Hillary's bill, and
didn't lift a finger to fix it. Now they are running scared
since Obama seems to have a winning hand there.

...

"No, I do not," the new speaker replied. "I believe it's
our responsibility to do what we said we were going to do.

It's his responsibility to do what is right, even if that means
changing his goals.

And I think it's pretty clear to the American people that
the best health-care system in the world is going to go
down the drain if we don't act."

The best health care system in the world has nothing to do with
the US. It's a toss up between the national health care systems
of the industrialized countries of the world.

The US has the best health care technology in the world. The US
has the worst health care delivery of any industrialized
country. And the most expensive system in the world.

The Swiss system, spending 12% of GDP compared to the US's
projected to soon be 20% of GDP would save this country $1t/yr.
More than enough to pay for all the stimulus this country needs
to rebuild the economy, cover all out people under health
insurance, and bring back enough industry to employ all who need
jobs.

Nearly 12,000 babies die in this country per year who would not
die if they were born in France.

See the tagline.

In this country 5000 black babies die per year who would live
if they had been born white.

Racists say it's racist to mention that black babies are dying
while white babies are living.

They don't care about black babies dying, they just don't want
you to mention it.
