I dont know about the rest of you, but Im not planning to recognize such a result as legally binding. Im not going to pretend to obey any dictates from federal health-care bureaucrats that have never been authorized by a constitutional vote of both houses of Congress. I will not submit to any extra-constitutional order to dismantle the consumer-driven health plan I have set up for my employees.
I will not comply. If the government tries to make me comply, Ill sue. And Ill win.
This is not (yet) a banana republic where constitutions are seen as inconvenient impediments to the rule of the despot. This is not (yet) a European-style welfare state where some powerful parliament can exercise legislative, executive, and judicial power all in one stroke. This is a constitutional republic in which government power is divided, its exercise is strictly limited, and our rights are not some generous gift of those in power, to be withdrawn at their whim, but are instead a permanent check on their power.

We have guns too!!!
No. An oligarchy is a sort of “shared dictatorship”. The “disinterested intermediary” I refer to is, on the whole, businesses who will comply with whatever is required to stay in business, else they just won’t be in business; the businessman may grumble but he’ll comply, and the would-be rebel will comply by proxy.
Point is I can’t just pull out of the system in protest. I may object in other ways, but not by dropping coverage.
Next time my 912 group meets, I am going to bring up this very point. If those of us want to take this route, how do we go about it.
Only if you believe the corporations have nothing to gain...
Put another way, the only way to do “I won’t comply!” is to drop coverage. The insurance providers WILL comply, and your only option short of dropping coverage is to conform to a compliant plan.
I’m seeing a lot of “FMCDH!” type bluster above, but none indicate _how_ they “won’t comply”. When your cardiologist says “so ... you don’t have any other symptoms?” you’ll d@mn well better have either full coverage or a fat bank account - trust me on this one.
“This is not (yet) a banana republic “
Except for the President we have.
Now THAT is a response I can respect: recognition that there IS a problem more complicated than self-righteous bluster, and figure out how to deal with a very real and very complicated issue.
Keep me in the loop on that one.
If they’re not part of the ruling inner circle, then they’re not part of the oligarchy. Well-compensated slaves are still slaves.
Just as prohibition didn’t work, neither will this. Underground medicine will emerge.
You are right, and that’s why I’ve always said, that the patriots need to march on DC and take it back from the enemy, I’m convinced nothing else will work.
I'm counting on folks like you. What I'm wondering is why none of you have made your presence known as yet.

“They are already anticipating the use of force against the American public.”
Of course they are. I can’t believe that all of these people who “will not comply” don’t seem to consider that.
They want terrorists tried in the courts because this allows them to equate ANYONE who stands against them with Bin Laden et al. And they KNOW that people are going to defy them in the near future. They go to law enforcement because they KNOW law enforcement DOES NOT EVER QUESTION ORDERS.
“I, too, will not comply, and will sue if compelled to comply, including for damages under section 1983 for violation of my constitutional rights under color of law.”
You are saying this with respect to people who you SEE, NOW, THIS SECOND, dismissing Law and Reason AND THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF in pursuit of their (nefarious) ends. Good luck in court.
Imagine that...our first black president putting the entire country in to slavery. Payback.

A bit melodramatic...well...more like over the top melodramatic. But the frustration voiced is understandable.
