The very best thing to do is to resist it no matter what they threaten to do, at the very least its patriotism.
Who knows maybe Obama will become so despondent he resigns from office....
There’s a camp for that!
The insurance companies will be sucking tailpipe if the mandates collapse.
Forward!
Now if only we could make it hurt the executives who eagerly embraced Zero-care instead of the workers who didn’t have anything to do with it.
Why not file lawsuits under the fact that the Obamacare mandates are violating the civil rights of the citizenry. Citizens can get millions, the lawyers fighting this can get millions, and we can kind of eliminate this through a ‘death of a thousand cuts’ method rather than trying for outright elimination. Make it cost a lot to push this through. Sue the legislatures and sue the politicians.
Since I am immune to Obozocare I have no idea about the alternatives. There are many benefits to being an American, living offshore.

The Country has been victimized by an indirect but true form of fascism.
While I’d be happy to see the offenders hanging, writhing, better to first puncture that asphyxiating our liberties; i.e., vote TEA!
I don’t think that goes anywhere. A legal/litigation challenge to 0’care would have to get into a circuit court and then be appealed to the USSC, per my larval understanding of the hierarchy of the court system.
However...there is a doctrine of “impossibility” in legal procedure. This may be the only (legal-based) means of overturning 0’care; but, by the time it is proven impossible, it may well have overturned itself.
I look forward to the moment when the administration floats the idea of bailouts for the insurance companies. You know, the guys who were the evil bastards all along? But who actually wrote the bill. With the bailout provision for them. I so look forward to that moment. Boy oh boy, if that doesn’t get the libs going, there is absolutely no hope for them (or for us)
From what I read they get money form the Government (US) if they loose $$$$.
What IF??? People have been rebelling against it since before it became law...or at least I have.
Yes, Rand Paul is launching such an effort.
The question is whether the courts will even hear the case.
In the US, one needs to show “standing” (yes, this is in the Constitution), otherwise the courts will reject the case.
Although it may seem obvious to us that there is a direct harm to our personal well-being and liberty, a judge could say that the citizen has a legislative remedy.
If Paul is smart, he will continue to build public awareness of his legal effort. It may force the hand of a federal judge (or even SCOTUS) to hear the case. In the end, judges are political figures too, and are sensitive to the insinuation that their rule is not legitimate.
Yes, but if the mandates collapse, this amount will be enormous. The subsidies will be repealed too, pinching the insurance companies. The preexisting condition exclusion will then need to be repealed.
The GOP needs to have an alternative. Undoing Obamacare now would be like unscrambling an egg.
The target group will neither pay for insurance nor pay a fine.
They will just show up and demand their “rights”.
I think people are already rebelling but you’ll never get the actual numbers out of the assholes running Obamacare. This administration is nothing but one huge lie.
I’d like to see the entire GOP stand up and walk out on the state of the Union address or at least scream out “YOU DID LIE” every time POSPOTUS opens his mouth.
They do not have to let him come give the address. That's a courtesy. I'd like to see that - oh the screams of racism lol
The insurance companies will be sucking tailpipe if the mandates collapse.

The grave concern is that this fiasco will be allowed to run until it completely bankrupts and destroys the private insurance industry, leaving only substandard medicare (single payer).
