Is Repealing Health Care Worth $230 Billion?

Is repealing health care worth $230 billion? The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says repealing health care reform would add $230 billion to the deficit. Of course the idea could not go anywhere since Barack Obama has now talked about reigning in the deficit and Republicans are adamant about not adding anything to the deficit (OOPS!
