Nikki Haley, Governor elect from South Carolina, in a meeting with President Obama, Cabinet members, and newly elected governors, asked Obama to repeal his Health Care Bill; unsurprisingly, he refused. She then asked if he would allow states to opt out of the Nationalized Health Care Bill; surprisingly, he said yes or at least he would consider a state's plan, if the alternative plan meets three criteria-
1. If the states ran exchange programs2. If the plans banned insurance firms from denying coverage of preexisting conditions
3. If the plans enabled people to pool together for better rates
Of course this was an unscripted exchange without benefit of the omnipotent teleprompter and teleprompter may have other ideas or opinions on the subject, but for the first time, Obama has admitted that not everyone is pleased with the nationalization of our medical system.
This bill is considered to be the signature bill of Obama's presidency and it is significant that he admits that not everyone is pleased with the bill; however, if these are the only criteria that a state must meet to bypass the monstrosity that was passed, there can be real savings for individual states. Let's say that several states write a plan that is competitive and they opt out, why would they need to pay the draconian taxes and put up with the onslaught of IRS agents that will soon be unleashed on the public. These two factors alone could make states much more powerful and important to their citizens.
There are many unanswered questions; for instance, what happens if forty seven states opt out, excluding the Socialist states of New York, Illinois, and California, our bankrupt states, will we still need the nightmare of government hiring that Obama's Socialist Bill is proposing? How will our bankrupt states pay for all the fraud and government waste that Obama's Nationalized Health Care will generate?
Haley also asked him to reconsider the freeze on development of the Yucca Mountain repository, in Reid's Nevada, a site designed to receive nuclear waste from the Savannah River Site and sites in other states: a request he rejected without consideration, saying that he had safety concerns.

Why can’t Schnecter Poultry Corp. v. United States be used
as a model. I’m just a layperson, but this fits pretty close to what 0 is doing with the healthcare. Of course, this is just my humble opinion.

Why is it the only balls in the GOP belong to the women?
Why not just post it here?
