RE :”That's a good idea, but the leftists know what would happen if such a bill became law. Imagine Virginia wanted out and Maryland stayed in. Maryland would get a lot of new “immigrants” seeking health care paid for by somebody else (including some who are in trouble through no fault of their own, but are going to take a lot more in medical services than they pay for). Virginia might get a different kind of immigrants from Maryland: entrepreneurs. “

My national ideas are not revolved around trying to make my neighborhood a better place to live at expense of the country. I am the first one to call the claim that ‘my tax cut pays for itself’ Republican Koolaid. (No I am not giving it back.) I like the opt out idea because I think it it is arrogance for the Federal government to micromanage states. If lib states want Obama-care, who are we to say stop them? and vice versa for conservative states wanting out? If CA wants more poor, let them put up the welcome signs.

It will take a lot before this area of MD is hurt economically. This is one of the richest areas of the country due to federal $$$$.

I agree 100%. I would be great if that became law (without a poison amendment), since it would allow people to choose not only via state elections, but via moving to states they liked. Also it would allow a comparison between freedom and Obamaism.

My point was that leftists would not allow (using filibuster or veto) states to escape for several reasons, one of which was Obamacare states would not be able to pay for their big government scheme.
