I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m not planning to recognize such a result as legally binding. I’m not going to pretend to obey any dictates from federal health-care bureaucrats that have never been authorized by a constitutional vote of both houses of Congress. I will not submit to any extra-constitutional order to dismantle the consumer-driven health plan I have set up for my employees.
I will not comply. If the government tries to make me comply, I’ll sue. And I’ll win.
This is not (yet) a banana republic where constitutions are seen as inconvenient impediments to the rule of the despot. This is not (yet) a European-style welfare state where some powerful parliament can exercise legislative, executive, and judicial power all in one stroke. This is a constitutional republic in which government power is divided, its exercise is strictly limited, and our rights are not some generous gift of those in power, to be withdrawn at their whim, but are instead a permanent check on their power.

You still haven’t answered the question. You gonna cancel your coverage? Sounds like you need it.
And don’t impute “coward” or “fear of death” to those you don’t know.
I’ve been dead. It’s no big deal. No, I’m not kidding.
Doesn’t scare me, but it also doesn’t mean I’m in a hurry to get there again; I have a wife & kids to live for.
Now, quit insulting people and explain your bluster: by insisting you won’t comply, what exactly do you intend to do (or not do as the case may be)? At this point, the only way I see to “not comply” is either cancel insurance, have a big bank account/income (which amounts to self-coverage), run your own insurance company (and combat the new regulations), or die (which seems a viable option for both of us). The last option is fine by our would-be oppressors.
I’m not talking fear. I’m talking put-up-or-shut-up. Whatcha gonna do?
who do you think pays the congress? lobbyists... representing....
they are all on the corporate dole.
There is no more time for talking to libs. I consider them all my sworn enemy and will treat them accordingly.
Still doesn’t make companies an oligarchy. Yes, they may pay our masters a great deal to persuade Congress, but as the cost of doing business by swaying their masters with gifts - the oligarchs are the ones with final arbitrary say.
I can appreciate that.
On the other hand,you never know what someone will do when the chips are down.
“do you have a reference for the part of the bill where it states a sunset on private policies?”
I have to admit that I originally wrote that screed against the original house bill, so it is a bit out of date. However, I am pretty confident that it still holds with 2,300 pages of crap.

Joined yesterday, John Hood is a friend on FB. Thanks for posting this.
There is one Obamacare-free state already, might be time to either make your state the same or sadly, give up and re-locate.
First of all, one does not have to cancel any insurance they already have to “not comply”. That is some stupid argument you put forward...that is not reality.
Your own words speak of what you are sir. You readily admit that you would prefer to live in slavery to dying a free man.
Under some weak argument that you have family...what are you going to be helping to leave your family with? Dictatorship? Just so you don’t have to fight for freedom?
Each patriot will find their own way not to comply. I have read where some are contemplating storming DC with guns if necessary, some won’t pay taxes, some will close their businesses, and others may indeed refuse to buy into the government legislated insurance program.
You have already talked fear and are continuing to do so, so get off your attempt at being something you are not...this is the last communication I will make with you unless you decide to speak up for freedom and not encourage others to hide, like yourself behind false senses of security.
RUSH talking about this article...BUMP!
Instead of continuing to attack me, how about you answer the question?
I’d say it would then be time to revolt!
Still waiting for your plan, tough guy.
