And so it begins. Saw more of this on Hot Air today. Seems many governors are refusing to implement. God bless them. They really don’t have much choice but to defy the feds or go belly up in red ink.

I don't understand the mechanism but the more states (could be up to 24) that refuse to implement this new expanded 0-Care style Medicaid the more difficult it becomes for the remaining liberal states to continue with this farce. It becomes financially impossible for remaining liberal run states to continue

This could be the Achilles heal of 0-Care and it just might be Justice Roberts' poison pill to kill 0-Care

So why didn't he just strike it down in the first place? Instead, he stuck us with this:

"The Federal Government may enact a tax on an activity that it cannot authorize, forbid, or otherwise control."

God willing! May it be so (and I think you’re right.) In setting this thing up they were counting on ALL states being forced to implement this. If half opt out and don’t, the other half won’t be able to carry the burden and the whole thing collapses. What these states opting out NEED to do is implement their own free market options (allow companies to sell in their states that previously did not or something to that effect if they can). Once it’s shown to work it will be a very strong contrast and study in socialism versus free market capitalism for all to see. Guess where people will be moving to get their healthcare?
