A funding provision for the Feds to set up exchanges in the states was not in the bill. Evidently, the "geniuses" who wrote it figured the states would gladly shoulder all the state-bankrupting costs. Every state that opts out of setting up an exchange (AZ & MI are the latest two) just adds more and more to the Obamacare fiasco from the Fed end of it. Logistically, trying to get the exchanges up will be a Herculean task, if they can even do it. I think the weight of Obamacare (as the states pull their 'legs' out from under it one by one) is going to collapse the whole thing eventually. The states need to keep on doing what a lot are doing ... just say NO to the Feds and tell them "your mess, you deal with it". This may be the way the states get a foot back in the door, literally & psychologically, with 'the people' for more state-centered government rather than central Fed governing. Obamacare's supposed "freebies" are going to be a huge disappointment to a lot of Obamaphoners (i.e. the hands out gimme gimme types).
Good points.
But never underestimate what these tyrants will do to maintain and increase their power.
If enough states pull out, Obammie and his Commies will ensure one of the leftist states sues for the other states to cover their costs. The USSC will support that and essentially rule that no states can opt out if just one state wants to opt in, because it wouldn’t be “fair” and this is an administration that believes in economic and social “justice.”
Remember, Obammie and his Commies can’t stand the idea of anyone pulling out. That is why they want contraceptives and abortions to be funded with federal tax dollars. Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
