Obamacare might be destined to become one of those laws that sit on the books only partially applied and usually unenforced.

One of those laws that makes us all lawbreakers but generally not enforced, yet always there for the government to selctively apply to punish critics and opponents.

Ayn Rand --

"The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws"

What leaving these laws on the books does, is enable anarcho-tyranny.
