The states have lost the power to the feds because of the candy the feds hand out to them but it comes at a cost. This is a start to regain that power

Despite the court ruling, there is still a chance that Republicans in Congress can repeal much of the law next year even if they don't have a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Because Chief Justice John Roberts ruled that the mandate to purchase health insurance—one of the key provisions of the law—was a tax, Republicans can use a procedure called "budget reconciliation" to pass a repeal bill that requires only a simple majority to pass. But this scenario relies on the Republicans' ability to win the White House, keep the majority in the House and gain enough seats in the Senate.
This is a tax.

We have to repeal this tax.

You repeal taxes at the ballot box.

Tell all your friends: The Democrat Party is the party of taxes and the Supreme Court just affirmed that fact.

So says Wisconsin and Texas. I think Florida too, they are opting out.

More to follow suit very soon.

If its a red state Obama will hate them.

All those states which oppose Obamacare should adopt resolutions of nullification which are identical.

Further steps should be taken at the state level to prevent Federalization of the National Guard in any of these states, including recall of all National Guard units from any details outside those respective states.

We can anticipate Obama and his racist puppet Holder using the Federal Courts to attempt to enforce Obamacare.

Louisiana, Virginia, Florida, Texas...April 13, 1861 redux. Welcome to Ft. Sumter, Mr. President. You certainly worked hard enough to make it so.

Scott (FL) was on Greta last night explaining this. He basically said they (governments) always lie their faces off about this stuff - “Take this money, we’ll pay for it, just play by our rules” - and then once you take it, you realize their methods don’t work, you are left in a hole and the money is not enough and tends to dry up anyway.

It's not “despite Supreme Court ruling”, it's because of it he doesn't have to set up exchanges. The Government can't penalize any state for not setting up the exchange because it's an unenforceable Federal Tax, not a state tax.

If the states opt out and refuse the ObamaCare money, then the federal government can not force the state to do as they want with ObamaCare and they cannot punish the states by withholding any federal funds due to them.

The SCOTUS hooting down the Medicaid expansion threw a monkey wrench into the ObamaCare formula. ObamaCare only works by forcing states to pay for the expansion of Medicaid.

If Obama is refusing to enforce immigration laws,..then the Governors can refuse to enforce the Healthcare law. Its now a wild west in the U.S.

If the supreme court has no respect for the law then why should the states.
