In a move that reminiscent of the tyrannical actions of Abraham Lincoln that led to the War of Northern Aggression, Barack Obama says that he will not wait on states to enforce Obamacare. Instead his administration has announced its intent is to completely disregard the state’s Tenth Amendment rights to nullification of the Obamacare law, via their passed legislation and state constitutions. In fact, his administration has said that in states where they refuse to comply with federal healthcare mandates that agents from the Department of Health and Human Services will assume absolute control over the state’s health insurance industry.
Insurance regulation is a huge responsibility that’s been closely guarded by the states. That’s why the Obama administration and those closely watching the rollout of Obamacare believe that even states that have sworn off the law’s coverage expansions will still enforce its new measures — including new benefit mandates, cost-sharing guidelines and rules on how insurers rate customers — to retain control over their health insurance markets.
But the feds will be overseeing the health care law in Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming after those states told HHS they couldn’t or wouldn’t implement the new rules.
“We are enforcing because Oklahoma notified … that it has not enacted legislation to enforce or that it is otherwise not enforcing the Affordable Care Act market reform provisions,” Gary Cohen, director of the federal Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, wrote to the Oklahoma Insurance Department on Friday. Officials in Missouri, Texas and Wyoming received similar letters, an agency spokeswoman said.
The enforcement letters come a little more than a month after a Commonwealth Fund report found just 11 states and Washington had started to adjust state laws to prepare for seven major ACA insurance reforms taking effect in 2014.

and 7,000 SMGS, 1.6 billion bullets and a herd of MRAPs ....
Look for Obama to eventually “Waco” a statehouse.
Well, after four years, I finally find common ground with his excellency...he ignors me, I ignor him.
If the loon just sparks CWII and not WWIII or Armageddon, we’ll all be very lucky.
Federal agents with hollowpoint bullets. Waiting to “negotiate” with those who do not wear the AIDS ribbon.
And who’s gonna stop him?
Let 'em.
That way when the abomination becomes so overwhelmingly bad that even the low-information people know what's going on, they will also know that the responsible part is the US feral government.
All it takes is a court case to the US Supreme Court to enforce the US Constitution. Things like this are “yapped about” all the time and continue to be yapped about - UNTIL - a final court decision comes down. That’s when all the talking stops (except for the losing side who continually complains after that ... LOL ...).
Their MP4s are only accurate to about 50 yards, and they only know how to spray and pray.
Aim small, miss small.
Almost all of them have families... If they wish to be loyal to Obama in spite of the Constitution, let them know what the phrase "loyalty unto death" means.
He likes everyone but hard working Americans.
Hear,hear
Not that I disagree in spirit ... but I think you’re misinterpreting the Obamacare ruling.
The Court said the Feds couldn’t withhold medicaid funds to coerce States. The Obamacare law does give them the power to set up Federal exchanges when States refuse. That power wasn’t struck down by the Court, as far as I know.
I think they’re asserting that power. Its a bad idea, with plenty of ramifications to States rights and sovereignty ... but I don’t think they’re countermanding the Court here.

EXACTLY.
Manned by Homeland Security.
He needs to be removed from office.
The number seems to be a known scam. All over the place.
Yep. And if you individually defy them they will simply confiscate your bank account. That is what they want anyway. Good Little Commies always steal others property. Good Little Commies. /sarcasm
50 State National Guards plus 50 State Police + innumerable sheriffs departments + conscripted state militia. That is who.
” Let ‘em.
That way when the abomination becomes so overwhelmingly bad that even the low-information people know what’s going on, they will also know that the responsible part is the US feral government.”
And the Obama media will be sure to make it clear that the source of the low information voter’s problems is the Republicans in government.
Bottom is a long way off, but we’re going to hit it, that’s a guarantee.
