Where will they send the troops? To DOCTORS offices. Hospitals.

In a word, yes. Ike had no problem sending the 101st Airborne into schools. And Washington marched the militia into the farms of Pennsylvania. When the local police refused to enforce desegregation at Old Miss Kennedy sent in the US Marshals. And when the locals shot at the Marshals he sent in 3,000 troops in full battle rattle to demonstrate just how serious he was. The troops took over local law enforcement and ended the riots.

If the local law enforcement refuses to uphold Obama's laws he might try to simply take over the local police stations and use troops to enforce the laws. It has happened before, it could very likely happen again.

Nullification is like standing up to a school yard bully and saying "What are you going to do about it?". If the government backs down, they lose all their power. Once it becomes obvious that the locals can defy the government and get away with it, Fedzilla will be completely neutered. And not just on health care, but on immigration, EPA, taxation, licensing, or anything else you want to name. That is why governments have traditionally reacted (or in many cases over reacted) to the threat of nullification.

It has been said that when backed by conviction, the most powerful three words in the English language are "No I Won't" But when you refuse to give the bully your lunch money you had better be ready for a fight. Because the bully knows that if one kid publicly stands up to him and gets away with it soon all of the kids will. And his days of being a bully are numbered.
