Translation: We were always in favor of Obamacare, but we had to wait until after the election to admit it. And even if Romney won, we would have had some excuse to implement it.

You’re right. I suspected that all along.

I have to wonder if the 50 States desiring to secede from the District of Criminals will cause them to re-think their position?

Mixed feelings:
I wish all states would tell Obama to go stick it.
The more that don’t the better business climate and more jobs for my state.

Time for a recall effort on Governor Scott.
It is time to get almighty tough with these traitors.

RE :”
Though the feds will pay 100 percent of the cost of the new enrollees, that will drop to 90 percent by 2020. Scott has said the state can't afford the expansion of Medicaid, which state analysts have pegged at about $1 billion but which Scott insists is likely to be higher. Scott also is seeking federal approval to put the state's existing Medicaid patients into managed care like HMOs under a cost-cutting proposal passed by the 2011 Legislature. “Statewide Medicaid managed care is one way we can act immediately to encourage more competition.” Good thing Republicans took over the house so they could make sure that this is funded.

Communism is here to stay. There is nothing we can do about it. Quit fooling yourselves.

Your name should be SofaKing, as in that's such a SofaKing stupid thing to say. Ah, yes, the Brezhnev Doctrine. It's more immutable than the law of the Medes and Persians--and where are all of them now?

[Article]
"We should be looking out for our consumers and we should be looking out for our state and doing what's best for them," said Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel.
Maybe they could be even more helpful by printing up some explanatory pamphlets like "Your Guide to the Gulag", "Why White Republicans and Allen West Must Die", and "How Death Panels Work".
Howell Raines, former editor of The New York Times (until he fell on his sword in the Jayson Blair faux-journalism scandal), warned us in a Conde Nast Portfolio article in October, 2008, that the GOP had already signed off, using American Enterprise Institute, Cato, and other RiNO-oriented think tanks as proxies, on the single-payer/NHS model.
Boehner has been playing Main Street Republicans for suckers ever since the 2010 election. The FIRST thing he did in the 2011 session was to change the entire Republican Caucus agenda from repealing Obamacare to picking a fight over debt limits and budget authority.
It was more important, you see -- because the business community has already signed off on National Death Panels as a way to dump their employee healthcare plans. Of course, executives will still have their swank, and separate, healthcare arrangements. The peasants can shuffle off to the leper colony for all they care.

Actions speak louder than words so I believe you are exactly right. It will be the end of modern health care and the long term destruction of our economy. So be it.

Hasten it to its end.
No need for a 70 year experiment in communism that succeeding generations need to suffer through.

Indeed. One possible strategy would be to sign up for 0bamaCare, use it frequently (avoiding any invasive procedures) and file numerous complaints to the politburo about the practitioners. Run it into the ground.

That's only the beginning. If the Feds can set up a health insurance exchange in any state, what else will they claim to have the authority to set up?
A car insurance exchange (car accidents adversely affect your health); an exchange for federally mandated carbon credits (EPA), because carbon is bad for your health; an exchange for EPA and USDA approved organic food providers; an exchange for federally approved churches that perform 'gay marriages' and dole out free contraceptives; etc...

I do believe the worst will be about the millions demanding useless surgery like butt injections, penile extensions, sex changes bust enhancements, and then the uproar of the no coverage for dental work, especially the free gold teeth.
They will flood the system like looters and find its all but an empty store, much like in the Soviet Union they will stand in line for hours only to buy a single radish.
I do agree though we can move its demise up in a shorter timespan. The fall of the United Socialists States of America will come very soon indeed.
And they do need a couple of socialist states.

You have a good point. We don’t need to do a thing to crash their program. They will do it so fast it will be hard to make our an appointment first.
