Looks like we’re heading for a showdown.

It’s gonna get messy.

It would be better if they just let the states go that wanted to not be a part of this whole load of collectivist crap,

but it’s gonna get messy, because they won’t.

Because Obama won and we lost and that’s how it is to them. Screw them.

It’s going to get messier too if they go passing more of the garbage that they’re working on.

If the cap and tax goes through they will be invading our homes to inspect our light bulbs. That’s no joke either!

Like all socialist schemes, it depends entirely on force in order to have effect.

The grand experiment in communism, the Soviet Union, was forced to erect an "Iron Curtain" to prevent the productive people among them from fleeing the tyranny.

One test of the freedom permitted in a nation is to examine its borders to see which way the guns point. If the guns point inward to challenge the people's ability to flee, then it is socialism.

Which states, if any, would opt out of "National Healthcare"? Those whose citizens were most inclined to provide for themselves. Which states would not opt out? Those whose citizens were most inclined to let the government solve their problems.

But like all socialist schemes, it is the productive who must pay and cannot be allowed to "opt out". Without the ability to force states to participate, the federal government will never be able to supply a fraction of what has been promised.

Do you think the fact that the Obamacare law forces states to pay more for Medicaid may cause revolt just because they cannot afford to follow Obamacare?
