Sections 1311 and 1322 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act authorizes Federal subsidies to State run insurance exchanges. But due to a “massive legislative defect” created by sloppy Democrat bill writers working in haste to force this odious legislation upon America, there is NO provision for the Federal government to make essential subsidy payments to Federally established exchanges. In the absence of a State insurance exchange and with NO CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION to fund Federal exchanges, any State that REFUSES to form an exchange will effectually ensure that within its State boundaries, ObamaCare cannot be implemented!

Here’s why: ObamaCare offers “premium assistance” – tax credits and Federal taxpayer dollar subsidies – to households purchasing coverage through new State health insurance exchanges. Democrats knew this assistance was essential to hide much of the law’s cost and reduce the vast premium hikes Americans will face after ObamaCare goes into effect in 2014. If consumers had to directly absorb the full cost of nationalizing one sixth of our economy, the already strong support for repeal would skyrocket!

So ObamaCare authorizes premium assistance in State-run exchanges (Section 1311) but in a glaring failure, not Federal ones (Section 1321). In other words, a State refusal to create an exchange will act as a clear mechanism to block much of ObamaCare’s spending and paralyze implementation of the law. By NOT laundering Federal tax dollars (and MORE DEFICIT SPENDING) through State mechanisms, it also helps expose to the otherwise propagandized American electorate just how unaffordable ObamaCare really is!

The States can stop ObamaCare in its tracks just by refusing to establish insurance exchanges!

Scott said other Republican governors agreed their focus should be fighting the law and supporting Romney, including Rick Perry of Texas, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Scott Walker of Wisconsin.

This article quotes Scott and Jindal directly stating that they will NOT implement ACA in their states. I've also read Gov. Walker's statement that WI will NOT implement ACA.

This article doesn't quote Perry directly, nor can I find were Perry has stated he will NOT implement ACA in TX. I've been searching for articles - or anything - that has Perry clearly stating that he will not implement ACA in TX, but cannot find anything.

If you come across something, please ping me. Thx!

“...by November we’re going to have a new president-elect who is going to repeal it...”
-
Obama didn’t passed it and Romney can’t repeal it.

Congress (we, the people) passed it and congress (we the people) can repeal it.

What is so hard about that to understand?

I sincerely hope Alaska refuses the Obamacare mandate. Too many are seasonal workers, the rest are natives and are already exempt. Thats right, even in my family my grandaughter is half Inipiut native, they will be exempt from Obamacare as they already have their own healthcare, actually the native hospitals in Alaska are bigger and better.

I'm sure we'll see many more States respond in-kind to Obama's "Thumb Tax"-

I am pretty sure Alabama won’t uphold the law either....our Governor Bentley called the decision disgraceful and denounced it. He was a practicing doctor so I can’t imagine him not signing on with the other GOP governors on this.

Meaningless. The statute provides that if they don’t, the Feds can and will. I’d rather the states oversee it. This is a mistake. If it is between the State or Fed doing it I choose the state.

Although some of these governors who will not implement ObamaCare will truly not implement it...Scott will back down when Obama threatens....just like he did with this George Zimmerman lynching

Scott will buckle

Rick Perry = Republican.
Jindal = Republican.
Scott walker = Republican
Sarah Palin = Republican

Obama = Democrat
Pelosi = Democrat
Harry Reid = Democrat
Barney Frank = Democrat

John Roberts = marxist

I wonder how many democrat state governors or legislatures are resisting against Obamacare. let me guess :ZERO. Funny that many here think it is Republicans that are the problem in America. hmm it seems all these governors forming a resistance ,rebelling against Obamacare are Republicans.

Yeah Republicans are the problem not the Marxists/democrats POS’s like Pelosi, Obama, Reid.

Looks like we're headed for a much needed showdown between the states and the federal leviathan. Texas, Florida, Arizona, Louisiana and Wisconsin at the breech.

Pray for them.
