Republicans are now in control of the house, what does it mean for health reform.

Now that the democrats have lost the house to the republicans, what does it mean for the health care reform bill? Will the look to replace all of it or just part of it, or will they seek to add to it or delete from it? Will they be able to do anything?
Like many Americans, I only like part of the health reform bill, I support coverage for the uninsured, and I support not exempting those with pre-existing conditions from coverage, but I cannot support is forcing everyone to have health insurance. It is difficult for me to support such a measure because I see it having an adverse effect on the economic.

John Goodman has some Idea for the Republicans to consider such as Health care Portability, Affordability, and fairness.

Kaiser Health news : While unable to overturn the federal law, the newly elected officials will be under pressure to act. They could lean on congressional delegations to repeal or change the legislation, seek waivers from some of its provisions, veto state legislation related to it and appoint like-minded people to important positions, such as insurance commissioner slots.
