****Jan 13, 2014 - Baltimore Sun: Politics trumped prudence in Md. Obamacare exchange [Editorial] "The train wreck of Maryland's Affordable Care Act insurance exchange should have been no surprise to Gov. Martin O'Malley, Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown or anyone else responsible for its creation. That's the unmistakable conclusion from a Washington Post article on Sunday based on not-previously disclosed documents and interviews with key participants. The Post's report fleshes out the story of dysfunction revealed in records obtained last month by The Sun through a public information request and leaves no doubt that state officials were warned repeatedly and in detail that the website was, in one former official's words, "a disaster waiting to happen." The more of the picture we see the clearer it becomes that political considerations trumped prudence — and that Marylanders in need of quality health insurance paid the price.

You know when this is going to get really interesting?
When money gets tight, millions of low income folks are going to stop paying their monthly premiums.

Hahahahahaha this must be a joke question. Bully... Hahahahaha. If you consider 4am no knock raids SOP then no.
But what happens when you are fined Falsely? Then how will you get your money back?
How exactly will the IRS know whether you have a grandfathered private insurance policy? Will we be required to submit some sort of proof? Will the IRS erroneously fine people who do have coverage and steal their refunds? The corruption and incompetence has only begun.
Is the Pope Catholic?
States are already moving to nullify obumacare. About 10 have legislation in the hopper. Another dozen will follow. The criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington doesn’t have the manpower or the logistical means to stand up to state nullification. Joshua Chamberlain left the scene 100 years ago, and he ain’t coming back.

Thought it was a tax.
