Most of us are focused on the wrong things. Of course, Republicans and governors need to object to the requirement that we purchase government-approve products (i.e., from a government-approved insurance program). We do not have any choice but to challenge that and win, because otherwise, the federal government can require us to do anything. However, do not think this worries Obama or Pelosi. They could care less. There are several economic points of dishonesty in the healthcare bill that was just passed. It does not concern the President or the Speaker of the House what happens financially because of this bill. If we are not required to carry insurance, fine. They can live with that. They do not care if this is paid for. Don’t think for a second that being financially responsible is a part of their thought process.
Almost every contract I have signed has a severability clause, which means, if paragraph 4c of section II is determined to be unenforceable (or, in the case of this healthcare bill, if the government cannot force us to buy insurance), the rest of the contract remains intact. Democrats, for the most part, were not concerned about paying for this bill in the first place (hence the phoney claim that a half trillion would be taken out of Medicare in order to pay for half of this bill), similarly, the requirement that we buy insurance as a means of paying for this bill is not of any concern to them.
