One program I watched yesterday, and I don’t remember which, said that taking out the required insurance portion of this bill guts the entire bill, since that is the way it is funded.

However, I don’t see how that would affect the stealth gold purchase portion, or the age 26 on parent’s insurance provision, or the pre-existing conditions provision, etc.

I’d like it all to be killed, but I tend to agree with you. Killing one provision won’t, but should, kill the entire thing.

“Killing one provision won’t, but should, kill the entire thing.”

Have you no respect for the gods, lesser in the small outland high places to the supreme temple of the gods? They can do anything with impunity and no created being can question them. They serve for life and the good is oft interred with their bones but the evil lives after.

They did not insert some sort of legal provision which would permit survival of any remainder that is not directly eliminated. My understanding is that if one feature goes down the entire bill is crash and burn.

My understanding is that this law is extremely unusual in that it does not have a severalbility clause. Scott Brown's surprise election forced them to accept the Senate version as-was. It wasn't ready yet, and it was assumed that bill would be revised and so no one bothered with a severalbility clause until it was too late. So now, if any section is declared unconstitutional, it all goes down in flames. At least, that's what I heard the FL. AG say.
