Too many of these articles are leaving out the other option which is responsible middle class working people dropping health insurance all together and paying for their health care themselves.

What will happen when Obama issues an Executive Order allowing medical practitioners and facilities to accept payment for services only from insurance companies?

The idiots thought that people would sign up in droves and be hooked on UtopiaCare.

Exactly. They live in their own bubble in DC Lala Land. It's difficult for them to fathom that people will and can make decisions for themselves based either on principle and/or how it affects their bottom lines.

It should have been obvious to them that the law was unpopular when they couldn't get even one measly GOP vote for it. They were arrogantly convinced that they could sell people on how great UCA was and that once that happened, people would turn on the GOP for not supporting it. Terrible and very costly assumption.

There were proposals that could have been adopted on a bipartisan basis to improve health care and decrease the numbers of uninsured. But the Rats didn't want to compromise. They had the numbers to slam through what they wanted. Damn the GOP.

They are reaping the whirlwind and their decision will go down as one of the greatest political calculations in our nation's history, IMO.

He will be promptly b***h slapped by the courts. That falls under the purview of state policy and some liberal states may actually try this - then stare blankly as medical care providers quit their states in droves.
