What if all the large corporations and churches and hospitals simply refuse to implement obamacare. Just how many people will they arrest and where will they put them? And who’ll replace them?
How do you refuse to implement a law that gives authorities the power to fine you and drive you out of business?
The insurance plans they offer are to be phased out and insurance companies that offer plans not in compliance with obamacare regulations will be penalized out of business. There is no more option to for an individual to purchase or an employer to provide individualized coverage. It's one size fits all, cookie cutter policies for all.
Even if these hospitals could somehow continue to offer their present plans and stay afloat with the fines, there are other penalties that can be levied against them. Do you really think the feds won't single them out as examples of noncompliance? This regime specializes in selective enforcement. Didn't Obama just say something about wanting the feds to be fast and forceful? Something like that.
IMHO Obama has the bishops where he wants them. They either capitulate and sell out their consciences. Or they close the hospitals and face demonization by the administration and other leftists for abandoning the sick. After a period of public castigation for following their consciences, the leftists will use eminent domain make sure the Church never gets back in the prolife health care business during a future administration.
I think this is all just a skirmish in a larger battle that is aimed to force every hospital to perform late term abortion on demand, something planned parenthood cannot do on an outpatient basis. It's too radical an idea for the country to accept, but demonizing Catholics and their beliefs isn't. Forcing sale of their hospitals isn't.
