[Let's Roll]

In no way am I disagreeing with the states doing this, but ...

I fully expect the feds to start pulling the plugs on the “distributions” that the states have already come to rely on from the fed govt until the states come to heel on this issue.

P.S.

The feds will not let this go unpunished - they could refuse to pay the medicare claims of those living in the ‘selfish’ states, etc. And just keep turning up the heat until the states buckle.

I hope I’m wrong. If enough states refuse to set up
exchanges, maybe that will prevent much or any retailiation.

I suspect you are correct. Obama will not be denied short of force. He will push and push until the states break or those that are able start prcticing state nullification. A state like Texas could perhaps stand against the Feds, but most can't. How far will Obama go = look at Hugo Chavez for a model.
