Lets not forget to send John Roberts a thank you note, with comments.
From the excerpt: “And that’s only possible if we “un-elect” in 2014 every politician who voted for it.”
Can’t do that, unfortunately.
First, the main congressional culprit in this mess is the Senate and all Democrat Senators who voted for the ACA are not up for reelection in 2014, and therefore cannot be “un-elected” . Only a third of the Senate is up for reelection every two years.
Secondly, the Executive can veto any repeal Bill and the Executive cannot be “un-elected” in 2014. Therefore, the Senate would have to be “veto-proof” and that’s not going to happen in one election cycle (see item one above).
“We the People” can only begin to do something in 2014 and will have to continue “doing something” for at least one additional election in 2016 and probably several after that.
The best chance was in 2012 and “We the People” blew it.
In order for nobamacare to work, healthy, young Americans MUST pay for insurance even though they don’t want to and even though they may never need it.
But for this latest income distribution scheme to work, the young must buy insurance to pay for those with preexisting conditions, the old, the infirmed, etc.
IMHO, a solution that kills two birds with one stone is for the young and healthy to just pay the penalty, AFAIK, $95 or 1% of your gross income. This will probably be substantially less than the premium under nobamacare. That’s one stone.
The other is that this “starves the beast.” In order for the income transfer to work properly, nobamacare desperately needs the income from the young and healthy. Without it, nobamcare will collapse under its own weight.
