What should happen to the rest of the health care overhaul if the individual mandate is struck down?
The whole law should be invalidated. And let us never return to health care reform again
The whole law should be invalidated. But Congress should craft a better law to replace it
The rest of the law should stand as is Only the parts most closely tied to the mandate should go

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
Secession isn’t an option on the poll??
How about "Void 0bamacare in it's entirety because there is no provision for severability from the Mandate if stricken".
How about an additional response...
Scrap the entire law, find an equitable (read prorated) way for the government to completely back out of the business of health care (add retirement, and all the other entitlement programs), and let the medical community compete in the marketplace.
Gotta get medicine out of the “prevent and treat” business and back on track with real cures!

They should work on tort reform (eliminate the need for the massive documention that doctors have to do). This would save huge costs. This includes:
- limiting the total amount of judjements that are paid out in a given year: (the jury could award $2 million, but if 100,000 people win 2 million and the total amount to be awarded for that year is 2 billion, you’re only going to get 2 billion divided by 100,000.
- limiting the ability to sue if you’re receiving free health care.
A mandate is merely a dictate. Thus, if we are dictated to, do we then live under a Dictatorship?
If our freedom of choice is taken from us by the dictates of a hostile Federal government, then what Liberty do we have left?
The whole law should be invalidated. And let us never return to health care reform again

I want to return to HC reform ...
1.) interstate issuance of policies to be allowed ..
2.) no mandates on individuals.
3.) gov’t or industry groups to come up with 3 or 4 levels of insurance protection ,, all companies will offer these “standardized” policies (and whatever else they wish to offer) to make comparisons easy and encourage competition.
4.) legal/malpractice reforms..
I didn’t see an option to never elect another liberal as long as I live, so I picked “The whole law should be invalidated. And let us never return to health care reform again”. I so hope they wipe it all out. ughs.
and invalidate Obama at the same time since he's unconstitutional as well!!!
We need to encourage Americans to pay for their own health care and eliminate the insurance companies that have created this system of over expensive health care so that their CEO and companies get mega profits. Let it up to individuals to pay their own way and the total cost of service, whether through a health care insurer or individual should be the same. The private insurance cos and government are pure overhead that provide nothing of health care benefit.
When my son was born in the 60s I had no insurance and paid the bill myself - $135. The insurance cos are ripping off the system and adding costs that needn’t be there. Hospitals and doctors are making too much. If there were no insurance cos. we could afford to pay our own way just as we do when we buy a car.
The system needs totally revamped and we need to remove regulations that protect private industry and lobbyists.
Meant to add that knowing how America thinks and works it will be the GOP that will pay a big political price if Obamacare is nullified by a conservative court. Guaranteed.
The GOP is viewed as a corporatist, not conservative party.
Kinda sounding like a Dim, there.................
“Sounds like a dim? “
How’s that? Price gouging is what I call it. Just like those in a catastrophe that would charge $25 a gallon for gas.
People should be able to afford to pay a doctor and hospital without mortgaging their house and without the need to have insurance. That’s the way it used to be before the medical system was hijacked with insurance and medicare padding the bills.
If the public can’t afford to pay for a needed service, then they are being taken only because providers offer a critical service. Eliminate the insurance companies who contribute nothing except added overhead to healthcare and distort the system, and soon the hospitals and physician prices will fall because customers can’t afford to pay. The system is bloated because of insurance convincing people to get services and paying physicians for services they don’t need and don’t pay.
BTW I’m also thinking college football coaches like Nick Saban with a $45 million contract are making too much too. We’ve become a distorted society where compensation is not about worth, but more about cronyism.
They’re trying to split “the law should be vacated” vote, I see:
The whole law should be invalidated. And let us never return to “health care reform” (complete fascist control of the American people) again
55.02%
The whole law should be invalidated. But Congress should still muck around and try to nationalize it anyway
40.11%
I’m an idiot and think the rest of the law should stand as is
2.45%
I really don’t understand what I’m talking about, but only the parts most closely tied to the mandate should go
2.42%
Total Votes: 50,153
That's what you said.......
And I said you sound like a Dim or better yet, a liberal.
Tell me what do you think Doctor's should make?
As much as the market bares?
Or some number you've come up with?
