Obama won a second term, but Obamacare is in big trouble. Ballot initiatives to assert state control over health care passed with 77% support in Wyoming, 62% in Missouri and 59% in Alabama. And yesterday, Governor Bentley from Alabama announced he wouldn't do the exchange, and suggested a "significant number" of governors would also refuse. Meanwhile 30 more anti-Obamacare lawsuits are waiting in the wings. So, let's not be discouraged. Let's work hard to help States stop national health care.

Our motto: Resist. Repeal. Reclaim.

[Persevero]

Amen. We can STILL defeat this power grab, if not completely, then substantially. Don’t give up the ship!

[MrB]

WRT the title...

[Brookhaven]

So what?

It’ll go to the Supreme Court where the justices will declare it means whatever the heck they want it to mean.

“No individual...” will end up meaning “every individual must...”

[Brett66]

Wouldn’t that be something if this law forced states to assert their rights in a more decisive fashion since before the civil war.

[donhunt]

Ya ... but none of the associated taxes will go away.

The “no one” referred to is to health INSURERS not to the people who purchase health care insurance. Thus, no company (or individual) that offers health insurance is required to participate. I wonder if that applies to people who self-insure? I doubt it. That woud too easy a loophole.

[Talisker]

This line seems to be referring to the actual insurers - not those providing isurance for their companies under Obamacare. In other words, State Farm Insurance Company is not required to participate in Obamacare, as it is providing insurance coverage for Obamacare.

It’s an exemption for insurance companies - ironic, eh?

Obama can thank Reid and Pelosi for this flaw. They cobbled together this monstrosity in the middle of the night with lawyers representing unions, pharmaceutical makers, health insurers, trial lawyers, and public hospitals. Like a Rube Goldberg contraption it will collapse under the weight of its over built parts.

[SoFloFreeper]

some of you geniuses can figure out if this is accurate.

so many people who are on our side have read through this...if this were true, I have to believe someone at Heritage or CATO or someplace like that would have seen it.

chinks in its armor

I'm sorry, Twila Brase, didn't you get the memo that this phrase was racist?

[gilor]

So “chink in armor” is a term now?
