Uncertainty for US Healthcare Reform following mid-term elections?

Retaking of the House by Republicans in the mid-term elections in the USA brings uncertainty to the health care overhaul in the US, but it’s not all bad news, explains Datamonitor’s health care analyst Tijana Ignjatovic:

“The Republicans have vowed to repeal the health care reform law passed earlier in 2010, a key Obama policy, should they regain control in the US House of Representatives. However, although they have regained control in the House, with Democrats still in majority in the Senate, and with the White House supporting the reform, a repeal of the health care reform law is unlikely.

She goes on: “Nevertheless, Republicans could stall if not block the implementation of key reform measures by blocking appropriations funding for the least popular elements of the reform. As a result many healthcare lobby groups have already been lobbying for select measures to be removed.
