What’s this, Freedom Lite?

How bout the real thing? If you want to make it optional to retain EbolaScare, then the option should be person-by-person, not state-by-state. There are normal people (i.e. conservatives) in states run by fascist tyrants elected by people in the large cities in those states. They deserve as much protection as anyone in a real state.

Kill it.

If any particular state out there is in love with it they’re free to resurrect it on the state level.

Does it kill the unconstitutional mandate or not? That is the main thing for me.

Would individuals and businesses in those states be able to opt out and purchase insurance across state lines?

Fail. When it was passed in the dark of night it robbed ALL Americans of their liberties. Now when it is repealed ALL Americans must be liberated.

keeping the taxes in place?

NONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!

we are trying to restore the American economy, not keep snuffing it out

and if a state wants to “keep Obamacare” it can just copy the Obamacare law .. there’s nothing preventing a state from doing that

If they want to remake it as their own state plan with no federal funding or subsidies for it. Most states will not do that and their citizens should not be paying federal taxes going to help the states that keep it on their own.

Giving the states the option to keep it is fine, but you don’t need a law for that. The states can write their own lives.

Destroy this monster before it destroys us.

When the Dims rammed this turkey down American throats, did they allow states who did not approve of ObummerCare to opt out?

When the voters get fed up with that sort of thing and demand change, Dim wannabes like Bill Cassidy and Susan Collins tie themselves into knots trying to figure out out to salvage as much of the leftist agenda as possible.

Being a states' rights enthusiast myself, I normally would be on the side of states choosing the best direction for their own citizens but in this mix, I believe these two senators are asking to keep their benefits to fund the difference between what a subscriber pays for a given plan and what the government overall kicks in to meet the costs.

If I am correct here, these GOP Senators, on behalf of their respective states, no doubt, want to continue to have the Federal Government pick up at least a healthy portion of the subsidy, if not the entire tab.

Again, if I'm correct here, that's what they're requesting. If that's the case, I'd happily say no. The Feds will no longer tax the states for this bill but neither will they pay for it - you are on your own to make your own choices but also to pay for them!
