One could say the same about you.
Rick Scott has never been in favor of it, thats absurd.
Just a question. If the states do not implement an insurance exchange then the federal government does it. So if the states opt out aren’t we inviting more federal government instead of less?
Rick Scott is a prick. True story.
I hope that all of the statists that brought us 0bamacurse choke to death on it.
“Rick Scott is a prick. True story.”
I saw it on the internet so it must be true.
Yes, the states have lost any independence.
Government systems never fail, they only cost more regardless of how poorly they meet their stated goal.
Govt systems are about control and power for the bureaucrats.
Epic cave.
This is going to be a total disaster.

The Republican Party is the party of spineless, weak kneed politicians who will sell out in a heartbeat.

They are Pubbies.
They fold.
That is what they do.
It is their nature.
They prefer being the minority, because being the majority is just too much stress.
And as the minority, they still get stuff.
“Communism is here to stay. There is nothing we can do about it. Quit fooling yourselves.”
Not as long as I draw breath. If you don’t fight them... you are them.

We did not win the Senate, and we did not win the Presidency, and the law was already passed prior to the republican takeover of the House.
Here is what will happen.
First, big business was always the driver for Obamacare. They wanted out from under the huge expense and huge regulatory and man-hour requirements of providing health care for workers. There’s really no reason your employer should be providing your health care any more than they should be providing your car insurance.
They thought they wanted a clean business relationship of employer/employee. They think it will be better in the long run to pay extra taxes, fees, penalties or to find end-runs around Obamacare, such as employees working 29 hours or less and being part-time.
Therefore, with their extensive entanglement with governments local, state, and national, they will bring recalcitrant governments to heel until they get their wish of a European style company. So, expect governors and legislatures to cave.
What they also realize is that the expense is great. Following the European model, they will support calls for a Value Added Tax that will provide additional funds to government.
With all that in the book, they will use Germany as their model government, a government that values business, achievement, and tradition. Germany survives on quality goods with worldwide appeal, with tight labor laws, and with an acceptance of a meritocracy-based class system. It even elects occasion leaders who are “conservative”, meaning finacial conservatives.
So, look to Germany. I’m fairly convinced it’s the model being pursued by insiders, both republican and democratic.
In many ways, it’s a lenient society, but in others it is very restrictive.
The Fed has no money for the exchanges... if the states refuse... ZEROcare fails.

The state just went for Obama and the unpopular Rick Scott's up for reelection in 2014. Do not expect a recall threat, if one is even provided for under FL law, would prove beneficial to your cause. He's likely to face a very strong uphill battle to keep the governor's office out of Democrat hands.
“So, look to Germany. I’m fairly convinced it’s the model being pursued by insiders, both republican and democratic.”
The Germany of 1933 is all they are after.
About some of them, I think you are absolutely right. Not the GOP-E, though, or any remaining blue dogs.
I think the Obama faction really does believe in the dictatorship of the proletariat with themselves in the role of dictator.
The GOP-E, on the other hand, is more oligarchical and really does see themselves, people like Ann Coulter all the way to Paul Ryan, as smarter than the rest of us, and therefore, born to be in charge.
