The only trouble with this is that it’s really no skin off Obama’s back if states refuse to implement. What those states will be doing is causing their citizens to be taxed to pay for Obamacare without receiving any of the “benefits” of Obamacare. So, for Obama, it’s great if a state doesn’t comply - free money that can be spread around to pay for the benefits for the other states.
States are forgetting one thing. Obama just won big with Arizona. What’s to say the administration doesn’t take these states to court and do the same thing?
The States that do comply are going to have to raise their taxes.
The way it is right now, people in red states the states most likely to comply, can least afford a tax increase.
