I see the following happening:
- Lawsuits on the grounds that have been discussed (states/people rights). This will lead to an appeal court to put out a stay agreement and keep the law form being implemented. This is a short term victory; you never know what the supremes are going to eventually do.
- Republican politicians will not vote to fund it. Despite what zero says, there are costs to this and it must be passed in the house and senate. The senate will filibuster any bill that contains financing of it. And when we win the house, they can not orginate the bill. Another short term victory.
Here is what I hope to see:
- The states can get together and create a constitutional amendment saying that the feds can’t nationalize healthcare. Don’t know the wording, but along those lines. Since a normal amendment takes 75% of both the house and senate before it can go to the states, the states would need to create a constitutional convention to create the amendment and circumvent congress. This is my hope, otherwise, every 10 years or so, we will have this debate.
